linux drivers

Phoronix: "Another annual tradition of ours besides running a Linux Graphics Survey is to provide a "year in review" analysis of the ATI and NVIDIA Linux drivers with their respective graphics driver releases from the past year in terms of both feature improvements and how their quantitative performance has changed."

ars Technica: "Intel's puzzling refusal to address the problems with the Linux drivers for its GMA500 integrated graphics component is raising serious questions about the company's commitment to Linux compatibility."

Ken Hess's Linux Blog: "This is a plea to all hardware manufacturers: Please create Linux drivers for your hardware.

OK, so Linux isn't the Stormin' Norman of the Desktop arena but that doesn't mean its users don't want or need drivers for hardware."

Phoronix: "NVIDIA hasn't been updating their binary Linux drivers as frequently as they were earlier this year..."

ZDNet Asia: "A steady stream of manufacturers are requesting Linux drivers for their hardware, suggesting growing adoption of Linux operating systems among enterprises."

Moblin Zone: "NEC announced its plans to support the Moblin project at "Wireless Japan 2009," a three-day expo in Tokyo this week.

A computer translation of the announcement suggests that NECs contributions will include Linux drivers for WiMAX radio chipsets."

LinuxTech: "Current Nvidia Linux drivers fully support (with the VDPAU API) hardware based decoding of mpeg2, VC1 and h.264 as offered by the ION chip, therefore systems based on the ION chip are well suited for a Linux based HTPC, using software such as 'XBMC', 'Mythtv' and video players such as 'Mplayer'."

Cyber Cynic: "One of the great Linux myths is that it doesn't support modern hardware. What nonsense! I've been finding for years that it's the newer Windows desktops that don't support equipment."
