Need good FLOSS drivers for 3D cards (NVIDIA, ATI)Need good FLOSS drivers for 3D cards (NVIDIA, ATI)Posted Apr 10, 2008 8:14 UTC (Thu) by nim-nim (subscriber, #34454)In reply to: Need good FLOSS drivers for 3D cards (NVIDIA, ATI) by dwheeler Parent article: A Linux Driver Project status report
The huge problem with nouveau is they're stuck in a "we'll merge later, it does not work perfectly now, merging it today would only result in issue reports" stance. As a result most Linux users do not have access to nouveau, and the merge when it happens is going to be as difficult as alsa was (we still have people that do not consider alsa the default linux sound system, and it's due in no little part to alsa having lived as an optionnal out-of-tree addon so long) If you don't get yourself mainlined, the rest of the software ecosystem organizes itself without you.
