Linux loses the Philips webcam driverLinux loses the Philips webcam driverPosted Aug 27, 2004 19:51 UTC (Fri) by smoogen (subscriber, #97)In reply to: Linux loses the Philips webcam driver by richo123 Parent article: Linux loses the Philips webcam driver
I think it is probably because there is a bigger money incentive for Nvidia and ATI to do it than Philips. Every sale matters to Nvidia/ATI and making sure that big government contracts for various visualization tools go through because you have Linux support means a lot to the 2 companies.
For Philips.. they could lose ALL their webcam sales and it would be a drop in the bucket of their bottom line. So there is zero incentive to do anything..
