Thanks.  I wasn't aware Intel graphics used llvm too.  Now I am. =:^)

Does anyone know about nVidia graphics, both servantware and freedomware?  
I'm guessing the servantware doesn't use it, but the freedomware very 
well could, if both Intel and AMD are doing so.

And while we're on the topic, last I knew nVidia had no plans to do 
wayland with their servantware at all.  Any hints of that changing?
