Existing open-source 2D drivers for 3Dfx and nVidia cards. Initially I will probably have the video drivers done up as completely self-contained 2D/3D KGI drivers, but hopefully soon we will have a new modular acceleration system in KGI which will let me go back to open-source for the basic

Linux stifles innovation...
But the biggest problem raised by UDI for Linux community is Closed-Source drivers! Since Linux kernel API is in constant change all existing UDI could change this and manufacturers will produce it's own buggy UDI drivers and WILL NOT release specs! Linux will be dependant from closed-source drivers (and often

binary vs text files (Deep thought)
Ik zit nu met een NVidia GeForce FX 5500 :-D Ik denk niet dat dat ATI racemonster met de closed ATI drivers zoveel sneller gaat draaien, maar je kan het proberen. Mijn nvidia kaart is met de closed source drivers bruikbaar, met de open source drivers te langzaam. En dan heb ik het nog niet eens over gamen,

There are a huge number of open-source drivers available, why would a third party want to "steal" the hardware layer to VIA's hardware just to emulate it? Why not some other hardware abstraction that is already available in open-source form? From a business perspective I just don't see how this could possibly

Linux people petition Alcatel for USB ADSL drivers
This is as far as I can tell full, open source drivers for the entire nVidia line including the 128, the TNT and TNT2. Folks at nVidia have been working on this for a while. I've been talking with them for months. It does look like it is happening. Documentation will be scarce, but a driver with source does appear

Linux Kernel will not allow closed source USB drivers after ...
This driver is an unmitigated disaster because whenever Debian upgrades X it breaks, and it's very flakey at the best of times. Using one is about as stable as using a windows machine. 12 months later when speccing out a new PC I chose Matrox for the very reason that open source drivers are available, and this card

X and niceness
To open-source drivers is just like telling a knowledgeable electronics engineer about 80% of what your product does and how it does it (by revealing the interaction algorithms hardcoded into the device). That devalues the uniqueness of the product, because by def. the open source license allows reuse without

FreeBSD vs Linux, Solaris, and NT
And of course, the ATI proprietary driver only works under Linux. So much for the "ATI is better than nVidia in supporting open source" argument. I'd say ATI is better than nVidia, because ATI provides information for at least some of their cards, so you can get open source drivers for them that work well.

Connsistent Binary Interface?
Does anyone have the open source drivers for these ? I believe that ATI released a "Unified driver package", which I believe was open source, but I don't appear to be able to find this on the ATI website. The drivers appear to be binary only for the 8500 and 9000. Do the open source drivers support open gl ?

nVidia releases 2D and 3D drivers for its products, OPEN SOURCE !
And you expect the Linux kernel to do that for, of all things, *closed source drivers*?!? No thanks, `pragmatic idealism' may be the name of the game in Linux kernel development, but we're not bending over backwards and damaging the kernel's readability and maintainability to support people who won't even open

Open source graphic drivers
There is an open source driver for the QLA2310 board, qla2x00. This driver supports the QLA2100/2200/2300 HBA's. The qla2x00 driver in Red Hat 7.1 doesn't support the 2300; however, I believe it's being released in Red Hat 7.2. I've been using the qla2x00 driver for all my EMC CLARiiON idsk array testing.

Trouble trying to find Kernel source...
Arpi, I can understand the desire for open source drivers, but in the competetive world of video cards, you can't fault a company for desiring closed drivers to protect their IP rights.
