Which was my point exactly. The open source community (leaded by the<br>
|
|||
|
|
XFree86 team) was able to convince both Diamond and Matrox to release info<br>
|
|||
|
|
on their products in this same fashion. Just clearly state that there are<br>
|
|||
|
|
no drivers as the manufacturer is not willing to give out specs.<br>
