The real value-add in ATI and nvidia is performance. Take the time to see reviews on the net with Intel 3D performance, is just miserable if you compared with ATI's or nvidia solutions even in integrated mother boards. Release cycles are too fast, because ATI and nvidia compete with each other to have the better performance and yes is normal even in windows word that the first drivers of a new release are chonky.
This is certainly true today. Which means that the open source model has something to prove: if we have access to Intel, can we help them do better?
And I'm not trying to say here, that suse or kernel developers must add ati's and nvidia drivers in the kernel, I understand why they can't and don't want to do that, but if you are waiting to ATI or nvidia to open their drivers, then i hope you have a really long life to make the waiting.
Ultimately, the goal is to route around ATI and nVidia as damage. That's what open source does -- if you believe in it. :) --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
