I personally hope the new member of the driver team will focus on user oriented features, such as optimus, game profiles, custom fan profiles, fermi overclocking etc. nVidia is currently the only one offering enterprise quality drivers.

But it is not. AMD gives way to linux developers while nvidia employs them and you know why? They are successful in linux workstations, handheld linux devices, scientific visualization etc. and amd is not.
err.. that's 4 word.

And I am not exactly clear on how GPL makes optimus impossible.

Do you have examples where they turned down patches that were needed to support features on anything other than its technical merits?

Originally posted by TheBlackCat View PostI was under the impression it had more to do with how the hardware was built, with proper support requiring a building an extra, separate hardware pathway for the Nvidia card which very few companies appear to be willing to do (with such implementations being mostly limited to enterprise-level laptops).
