I know that AMD is writing a new kernel module to be integrated into the kernel, on top of which their proprietary driver will then operate (it is reported that the open-source driver can/will also profit from this). Thus it's the reality *now* that at least one GPU manufacturers is trying to deal with this properly. Personally, I am under the impression that the point where GPU manufacturers could opt to ignore Linux completely passed some time ago (I'm no expert, but I know that the gaming market isn't the only market for GPUs). -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
