Originally posted by smitty3268 View PostI'm guessing Samsung. I can't imagine it would be NVidia.
The two companies that have tried to screw Linux people over are nVidia and Imagination Technologies. nVidia are flying too high to be the ones being discussed here.
I dont think it is Vivante because they are not big and also there is a driver being developed there already, being used on Librem5 and pinetab/phone.
I suspect Imagination Technology. They will be desperate around now. given the short lift for their cashcow and everyone else avoiding them like the plague.
I also suspect the salty response is because they are trying to high ball developers by keeping the userspace closed source, but the Linux devs having none of that by requiring an opensource implementation (as otherwise it is untested code).
I remember reading Intel actually developed two separate drivers for the gma500 IP they had licenced from Imagination Tech for the purposes of opensourcing the code, only to not be allowed to release them by Imagination TechLast edited by You-; 22 May 2021, 08:10 PM.

it would be naive to think anything else.
No way the government regulators will care one bit about them opening up GPU drivers.

Really looking forward on hearing your expertise on this one!

So far, no one in the entire world has produced anything which makes you a liar.
