Then perhaps Penguin Computing should help fund it.

An Open card does seem like a real boon to Red Hat though. As they get into pushing the Linux desktop more, such a card would really help their system to work better on more computers, given their refusal to ship proprietary drivers.

Even the for-pay distros like Xandros and Linspire could benefit. I suppose they have no practical problem shipping closed drivers at the moment, but their business is dependant on the video supplier, a similar problem to depending on any other proprietary software. What will they do if nVidia and ATI decide to quit supporting Linux?
