If the rumor is true, then the problem is like with Windows Vista. I remember that MS developed a new driver model (LDDM), because current drivers have difficulty to handle both 3D desktop and 3D Games/Apps in Windowed Mode.
No. The drivers just have to support the new driver model (enhanced APIs). Otherwise you will stick with OpenGL 1.4 w/o extensions.
Maybe the Linuxoid/X11 community will need to develop a new LDDM driver model as well.
No.
We need one (or more) extensions for enabling direct rendering, which
haven't even been *defined* yet.
