TFA says that AMD has a working 2.1 driver, but the hdmi forum goons rejected it.
- summermusic 10mo agoMaybe one day I can pirate an HDMI driver
- machomaster 10mo agoYou wouldn't pirate a car, why would you pirate a driver!
- aleph_minus_one 10mo ago> You wouldn't pirate a car, why would you pirate a driver! I wouldn't steal a car, but I would copy one or download one from the internet and 3D-print it.
- Grisu_FTP 10mo agoYea, IMO piracy is a misnomer. To steal something (or Pirate) you would have to take something which causes the original to disappear from the owner. But Piracy isnt that, you create an unlawful copy, but you didnt steal (IMO) Which is why i cant participate in the "Is AdBlocker Piracy" debate, because for me, not even piracy is piracy :P

- throwawayfour 10mo agoIf they have a working driver since 2 years ago, couldn't they just release it to the community? I imagine most gamers would typically be capable/ok with that.
- ginko 10mo agoSo just drop off a patch somewhere by "accident" and have someone else merge it. What are they gonna do?
- some-guy 10mo agoAre they rejecting the driver because of it being open source? There are specific modules I use in my AMD card that require closed proprietary driver add-ons for example such as AMF. Not defending the HDMI forum here, but perhaps Valve / AMD have a way of including a proprietary blob in SteamOS (I don't think most gamers would care)
- Groxx 10mo ago>Valve strictly adheres to open-source drivers, but the HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification.
