You seem to be really angry about this. I mean, shockingly so.
Your comment just really jumped out at me and caught me by surprise. So much so that I felt like it might be good for someone to point it out to you.
I'd like to prescribe an afternoon of UrT. Take about 45 minutes to frag the hell out of a Steve Jobs avatar and post back in the morning. :)

- ajross 14y agoBetter stated: the Intel graphics driver is part of the Mesa/DRI2 framework. Mesa's core provides the OpenGL front end (API implementation, shader compilers, high level optimizers). Intel provides a low level component that takes that shader stream and turns it into programs and commands for the hardware, which is managed by a DRI driver in the kernel.
