What a wrong bullshit no this is not the case! Because the linux piece of the cake is cut into 2 parts closed source catalyst support part and open-source radeon support part. This result in 2% for the radeon driver and 3% for the Linux-catalyst based on the market-share.
What is the result of your posts you are 100% Wong your support "mesa" with Loongson hardware up to 100% thats 50 times more than your "claim" you can read this 2% number 1000 times from Bridgman in this forum in other words you cross-subsidization windows with 98% of your support money.
Only stupid and naive people support "open-source/free-software" by purchasing windows hardware from windows company's: AMD,Nvidia,Intel.
Damn we really need medicine against stupidity and naivety.

But the Linux users do have the freedom of choice they can stop spending there money into the cross-subsidization if they choose windows (x86) incompatible hardware like ARM or Loongson then they support "mesa" with 20 times more money than they do it with AMD,Nvidia,Intel hardware. (and if you calculate the split between linux catalyst and radeon then its 50 times more money.)

I'd like to point out that MSwondoze 8 is supposed to run on ARM hardware, so ARM is no guarantee of incompatibility with balmer.
Further, I have yet to see ONE open source GPU driver for any of those "wondoze-incompatible" hardware that actually works good enough to use.
Finally, ARM and similar platforms have a tendency to be vendor-locked. You want bullshit... paying hard earned money for hardware that is DESIGNED to be unusable.
My money is 100% into hardware that will run what I need it to run, and to companies that don't screw me over. That means that INTEL is completely off my list (with the poulsbo fiasco, it will take them a LOT to earn back my trust), and nvidia is definitely off the list (blob driver is totally inadequate).

2. One of the changes we made during initial SI support was moving from a fairly simple "shader assembler" to an llvm-based compiler, which will hopefully be doing some of that optimizing already.

Even if the ARM drivers are closed source you get a higher percentage of your support money into Linux support.

They can drop the support money to 1% because thats the official market-share of "Linux" on the desktop and you will buy it anyway.
There is ZERO pressure from your side to improve the Linux support because you buy it anyway.
If you buy it anyway without any pressure to improve the Linux situation its just not "clever"
The clever way is to buy windows-incompatible hardware then AMD gets a higher pressure with a factor of 50 from your side on the market.
Even if your "Loongson" hardware do have a AMD chip-set and a AMD-GPU they will get the message and the message is: Windows sucks(Monopoles sucks)!

LOL
No wonder you didn't get your diploma.
Do you really think I can not write a diploma if I can write one as a ghostwriter?
The only problem about a Diploma is I'm not allowed to write a diploma.
Also its not allowed for the university to take me as a student.
Anyway I write you a thesis for a diploma in many tropics while I sleep.

So, it was a kernel update that threw out my specific problem. Hopefully that explains my situtation better'n last post =)Hi

Otherwise the natural reaction is to assume you are some 12 year old babbling nonsense about topics that are so above your head that it's not funny.
