What Would You Like To See From NVIDIA & ATI/AMD In 2008 For Linux Graphics?
My nvidia 7300 GT is going very well (my ex radeon 9600 was very bad). I am satisfied and if nvidia want to do something for effects in xmame (I can't use them or I will have a black screen) I would be very happy.
If not, I'm happy too That's the only negative thing I found!
what about being able to connect nvidia and amd gpu together? :>
You aren't meaning this serious, are you?
However, I even think this could really be possible. We can't expect neither AMD nor NVidia to implement such a thing, but what
about open source drivers? The X server could load two drivers, for example nv and radeon, and tell them that they should work
together in some way. Then they have some standarized protocol implemented for talking to each other and coordinate what card
does which part of the rendering.
I know this is a somewhat crazy idea and yet there's no real reason why to do this, but wouldn't it be technically possible?
Go back and ensure "final" versions of drivers compile on modern Linux kernels. People don't want to loose OpenGL performance on their older card by upgrading Linux kernels.
So far Nvidia is doing far better at this.
Radeon < 9500 require very old drivers that require < ~2.6.19 kernel.
Whoever forces the EOL of a card first, looses the next purchase.
