Well, have come you forget Radeon free driver,
I didn't forget, I remembered -- that ATI's driver requires nonfree
firmware blobs. At least that was true about 4 years ago. I tried to
recruit someone to reverse-engineer it, but never did.
Would you like to help?
b) ATI/AMD Radeon - most of them are supported by 'radeon' Xorg driver,
newest ones require closed source drivers
Please don't use the term "closed source" -- using that term supports
the open source ideas and opposes the basic ethical principles of the
free software movement.
d) and finally, all of these machines *can* run GNOME desktop trough
software rendering using LLVM, altough is not as snappy as it can be, it's
really works.
I am glad that this does work -- but why must it use LLVM? Is there
something in GNOME that is not designed to compile with the GNU
compiler collection?
