1) How about LibreOffice or OpenOffice, Firefox or Chrome, or other popular productivity apps/suites?

Just a misinterpretation of what you meant by intel's fake S3TC vs native S2TC... I believe we agree. S3TC decompression is already handled by the card,...

[Craig73]

I wouldn't see this as a step further. S3TC is higher quality, so if S2TC is the fall back compression (in the event that applications have not provided...

[Craig73]

It thought S2TC compression gave good (not great) results, is open, and is backwards compatible with S3TC, no?

Could you not just implement...

LOL, seriously what?

OpenGL 4.0 *open source* support for hardware that isn't released yet!!! And there have been significant advances...

I'd love to be able to throw $1, $20, $50 into a pool, of which then I could specify which group of bugs / feature-set / application's are my top priority...

One thing that isn't clear to me... wouldn't the rights to use the patented technologies have been paid for by purchasing the hardware? [it's not like...

Other graphics projects (say Krita I believe) have successfully fund raised money for a chunk of focused development... considering...

855 fix?

What is the 855GM fix? The pull request doesn't really make it obvious (to those of us not in tune with development)

[Craig73]

Perhaps you could clarify your core concern; with less accusations, assumptions, and ill will...

So a company is writing software (not...

Perhaps to keep open the possibility of being more than just LibreOffice....

[Craig73]

Based on my understanding, Oracle has been invited to participate in the new foundation as well (hopefully they will donate the OpenOffice brand/trademarks)...
