Fantastic, so the next PowerVR driver will be in mainline Linux then, right?
I still haven't forgiven Imagination Technologies for the Poulsobo chipset (GMA500), and yes, I realise it wasn't all the fault of one party
- zurn 11y agoYou may be operating with an erroneously optimistic definition of "open standards"! Open standards in computing means proprietary implementations of patent-laden published protocols. (Well, it doesn't preclude open source or patent free, but doesn't imply them either).
- voltagex_ 11y agoSigh, yeah, I know. I needed to have a dig at them - I spent about a year on and off trying to get a Dell Mini 9 to work well. Eventually I just gave up and bought something else, but I don't like the idea of stuff going to landfill just because two big companies couldn't come to an agreement (Intel and Imagination).
