Actually, to be pedantic, it doesn't beg any question. To beg the question is to assume the point to be proved in a logical argument.

Sun's old mice were optical and 3-buttoned, but the resolution was poor (at least in comparison to mechanical or PS2 optical mice) and the shape was not very comfortable.

I'd kill for a good 3-button, non-mechanical, wheelless, PS2 or USB mouse. In fact, I'd kill for even less than that -- namely hearing "but wheelies are so nice" -- but that killing would be just for fun.

If you find one, let me know.

Because a lot of us (at least, a lot of people that I know) have gotten a GeForce when NVIDIA was 'on the right track' so to speak.

Funny that this article is posted just know, because I was just catching up on the linux-nvidia mailinglist. While I haven't followed all developments on this, it seems that NVidia does update their 'OS independent SDK' whatever that is. And yes, it's a bunch of obfuscated code, but there still are developers working on it.

Check the list archives for more.

The only thing we can do now is to hope NVidia will release a non-obfuscated version of that code I suppose. Even if they won't do anything else, it'd make my GeForce happy....

There have been a lot of posts so far on whether nVidia's code is open-source. nVidia created a hardware-enabled GLX driver that integrates with XFree86 3.3.x, and source is available (you can compile it yourself). However, the source is obfuscated to protect what they consider proprietary details about their cards.

XFree86 4 will be the thing to watch for GLX with integrated 3D hardware support; it looks to me like this is where nVidia is putting a lot of effort. Should be sweet!

Don't you people know anything!??

I found a few of these on the riva enlightenment page.


"nvida rep" talking about mesa support and future java3d support

talk of glx/mesa support

We will support OS's and not platforms (wonder what that means for my dual-PII350 machine)

This is a huge step.

Is it in the right direction, though?

If you're concerned about TNT/TNT2/128 development, you should have a look at The Riva Enlightenment Project.
