S3 Graphics Responds About Linux Support

Posted by timothy on from the progress-is-progress dept.

V!NCENT writes "Phoronix has an update on S3's Linux driver state: 'We are doing an internal build of the Chrome 500 Linux driver to incorporate some of the additional hardware features and upgrades (over the Chrome 400 Series GPUs). If you want to test the Linux now, the Chrome 400 Series drivers also support the Chrome 500 Series since it is a unified driver architecture.'" (This after the beef that Phoronix raised about S3's failure to deliver on promises of better Linux support for the 500 series.)

    One of the problems with you Linux nutjobs is you find ANYTHING you can to whine about. First you whine about not having a driver for the card, then when you find out a driver has been available for some time and that you were incorrect, you whine about the driver being a few months old.

    Just shut the fuck up and be happy that anyone is bothering to support your shitty little operating system.

    and whos fault is that? How many R-tards on here bought an ATI card because ATI said they were open sourcing the driver?

    Can't blame companies for jumping on the PR wagon when the undecided consumer buys a product because of feel good causes. Next time I suggest you look at the product rather then if the company is "on your side".
