Open Source Graphic Card Project Seeks Experts

Posted by timothy on from the will-more-cooks-help dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Could this dream of many open source developers and users finally happen? A 100% open sourced graphic card with 3D support? Proper 3D card support for OpenBSD, NetBSD and other minority operating systems? A company named Tech Source will try to make it happen. You can download the preliminary specs for the card here (pdf). The project, though a commercial one, wants to become a true community project and encourages experts and everyone who have good ideas to add to the development process to join the mailing list. You can also sign a petition and tell how much you would be willing to pay for the final product."

    And it's not anywhere near being ready to replace Microsoft Office, but I guess they've only had 10 years...

    Yeah I'm still waiting for Open Office to support macro viruses.
