Well in that case, why won't they change their mind again? If we had started 10 years ago, maybe X11 would be ready by now. Instead we had 10 years of X11 being able to lock up the machine from userspace.

In any case, http://lwn.net/1998/0226/#kernel shows that the issues haven't really changed that much over the years.

Hopefully, one day, graphics hardware manufacturer will open up all their specs too.

PS: Wow, it was already 10 years ago that I wrote that CL-GD546x driver!! ;-)
