Intel was the first vendor to have open source OpenGL 3.0 drivers, and have really driven Mesa development for the last few years. That hardly feels like "no features at all."
Disclaimer: I'm starting at Intel on the open source graphics team next month.
- gcb 14y agoDidn't know about first opengl3 drivers.
- fsniper 14y agoSo as a professional opinion, what do you think of intel creating unusable, proprietary software drivers for third party licensed chips?
- mattst88 14y agoI don't really know anything about those drivers (they're not handled by the open source team). No one on the open source team likes them either. It has seemed to me that using these PVR chips has always been a stop gap measure for Atom until the in-house graphics were ready (where ready means sufficiently energy efficient or something). This seems to be confirmed by the fact that ValleyView graphics are going to be coming to Atom.
