I know that AMD is writing a new kernel module to be integrated into the kernel, |
| 10 |
on top of which their proprietary driver will then operate (it is reported that |
| 11 |
the open-source driver can/will also profit from this). Thus it's the reality |
| 12 |
*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 |
| 15 |
could opt to ignore Linux completely passed some time ago (I'm no expert, but I |
| 16 |
know that the gaming market isn't the only market for GPUs). |
