In my opinion reviving meego just to be able to ship unusable and half-baked drivers is evil. I've written this at least 3 times on HN now, I'm not against using PVR chips, I'm against Intel not shipping related consumer ready drivers.
- ajross 14y agoWhy are the drivers unusable and half-baked? Have you tried them? You're saying that if they don't build on Ubuntu or Mint or whatever you use that they're ... evil? That's a ridiculous stretch, sorry. Intel's community support on the SGX is no better or worse than Apple's or Google's or Samsung's. They support the OSes they want, which in this case means Windows and Linux i686 ("MeeGo" libraries are compatible with basically any modern distro -- try them). They're not free drivers, because no drivers for this part are free.
