noh I really hope NVIDIA will just support KMS. I need the binary drivers for rendering... I really need them...Originally Posted by droidhacker

It would be great if the path to fully OSS drivers was simply breaking down blobs, and slowly replacing proprietary bits with OSS ones... or at least something closed to this, such as incorporating binary bits onto gallium drivers in order to complement missing functionality, such as PM, UVD, etc...

how difficult it is for amd and nvidia to implement OpenWf which afaik its similar to KMS and wayland already supports it??

I hope the blob drivers will fuck off and die too.

Haha, the only thing which will die is Wayland if ATI or NVidia refuse to support it with their binary blobs.

Indeed, this sounds like vaporware since Wayland v. 0.90, 0.95 and 1.0 have yet to be released, hence don't expect v1.0 this Summer, rather by December at best.

LOL! And what of the massive number of people running NVIDIA cards? They're suddenly SOL? The world isn't all on AMD and Intel.
