But you should already know that by now so whatever. What puzzles me the most here is why isn't Empia simply providing datasheets to other developers as well. I mean, even the GPU and wireless vendors know how to play well with the community now, so what's the problem? Being locked to just one developer who's unwilling to cooperate doesn't sound like a winning strategy to me. Greg, is there any reason we don't have Markus' out-of-tree driver listed here, btw: http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/OutOfTreeDrivers Maybe there are people in the "Linux Driver Project" that could be interested in working on this but simply don't know about it?
