And how am I supposed to be expected to resolve that?  If you 
want Linux support for your video hardware, it is your 
responsibility to either purchase supported hardware, or to 
contact a given manufacturer and request that they support Linux.  
For the case of these cards, it is probably less than a days 
work, if that for one of their engineers to hack on a 5 line 
patch or similar.

It is ultimately _not_ our responsibility.  The Linux community 
has developed a lot of software and a lot of drivers, some by 
poking and prodding the hardware.  That is not efficient however.  
If a manufacturer does not drectly support Linux, then it is best 
to avoid that vendor.

Having few hardware choices in a given part of the world, is a
problem that is not up to the OS vendor to solve really.  Mind 
you, I certainly try to do so whenever possible.
