Originally posted by asdxIt's pretty depressing that we have Valve porting Steam and that our open source drivers are crap (in 3d performance)
Valve will probably realize this and cancel/abandon the project after they realize no hardware vendors give a fuck about our drivers and Linux.
It's incredibly depressing and sad.
If/when mesa/gallium are developed enough, it shouldn't be such a hassle to suport new hardware, and software updates will simply be there. It's just a shame that only Intel takes this seriously.
I'm eager to have a Valley View phone, should be the best hardware to receive updates. Hell, should even be able to install different OSes in it. Supporting Firefox OS, Ubuntu phone, WebOS, besides android should be fairly simple (all linux based). The other closed source driver makers, should learn or fade into obscurity. It would be kickass if intel implement coreboot on their VV phones and tablets too.

On the other hand there is problem with AMD team, as they are focused on bringing 7xxx up to speed, so they would not have features to work on Since state of radeonsi is poor right now.

Originally posted by asdxThe problem is that distros won't include S3TC by default for fear of being sued, Mesa also won't include it by deafult, and most distros won't ship with S3TC by default.
It seems like some people think USA is the whole world and that the rest of the world doesn't exist. It pisses me off.
Why not just ignore USA patent laws and include everything by default?
USA is a fucking retarded nation. The whole world has to suffer because of their stupid and retarded patent law bullshit. When this will end?
