Ok, so, really who exactly is open-source friendly enough for me to recommend some hardware for some friends (these friends don't play games---they are more interested in proving theorems and getting their papers accepted by journals)? VIA? SiS? What manufacturers are really getting along with Open Source drivers (even if their products are not for "3l33t" users/gamers)? I'm often asked this and until some time ago, I used to give the answer that Matrox was collaborating, but it seems that Matrox is out of the game now... :-( Regars, Rog?rio. -- Rog?rio Brito : rbrito@ime.usp.br : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
