Will_Overheard someone talking about OO.org to someone who had never heard of it before.  They wouldn't even give it the time of day because it wasn't MS Office and they just didn't trust it.  Even if it was free to try.  Dec 20 00:28

oiaohmProblem is we have two possible effects that can explain the disappearing ice cubezzz.   One is 100 percent known to be our problem.  Ie global dimming.   Global dimming has knock on effects for plants to take up CO2 as well.Dec 20 13:11

schestowitzThe question is not just how?Dec 20 13:18
oiaohmWarming should cause more evaporation not less.Dec 20 13:18
oiaohmSo there should be more rain/snow fall.Dec 20 13:18
schestowitzIt's also not whether man causes it but whether MAN CAN REDUCE ITDec 20 13:18

amarsh04well, the cards are designed primarily for ms-winDec 20 19:08
schestowitzBTW, Novell fired Luc, who was a key dev of radeonhd. It shows Novell's prioritiesDec 20 19:08
amarsh04just a secDec 20 19:08
schestowitzFWIW, private sources told me that development was almost sent to Red Hat by AMD. They were furiousDec 20 19:08
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:02] <bridgman> the internal architecture of the two drivesr is very different; closed source drivers are designed from ground up to support DRM, for example, and opening up too much of the internals makes it hard to keep the DRM implementation robust on other OSesDec 20 19:10
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:03] <gnubien> udovdh: ok, thanksDec 20 19:10
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:03] <bridgman> we obviously don't use any of the DRM code on Linux, but we do use common things like memory managers, display control code, command submission, etc...Dec 20 19:10
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:03] <bridgman> and they all play a role in DRMDec 20 19:10
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:03] <Crazycheese> bridgman, in this context you mean DRM as Digital Rights Management(1) or as Direct Rendering Manager(2) ?Dec 20 19:10

amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:04] <bridgman> gnubien; Xpress200 is more-or-less 4xx display & 2D plus a cut-down rv370 3D coreDec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:05] <bridgman> but there's relatively less internal documentation on the Xpress200-specific hardware bits than on other GPUs, so we're having a tougher time with the open source driver supportDec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:06] <gnubien> bridgman: ok, 3-5 years old i guessDec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:08] <bridgman> also a separate team which only worked on IGP partsDec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:09] <bridgman> the teams working on GPU cores are geographically dispersed so need more documentationDec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:09] <bridgman> the IGP team was all in one place, which is great for efficiency but not so good at leaving a detailed written history for us to snaffle up 5 years later ;)Dec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:10] <gnubien> bridgman: hope you are being paid well for your efforts :)Dec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:22] <Crazycheese> damn DRM, screw it. I have not been using it since its introduction and I still go to live concerts and cinema. :/ I thought the reasons of concealing were lots of hours spent by technician on card design, so it does not get to "rivals" for free. But DRM.. damn. :///Dec 20 19:11
amarsh04[2009-12-21 04:23] <bridgman> DRM is probably 70% of the complication in supporting open source, 3rd party IP is 20%, competitive stuff is maybe 10%Dec 20 19:11

amarsh04bridgeman is posting from a Canadian ip home isp addressDec 20 19:14
amarsh04here is another comment:Dec 20 19:15
amarsh04<Crazycheese> bridgman, if opensource components which allow opengl2+ implementation submerge, will opensource driver get ogl2+ support? Am asking this to understand whether decision to keep two drivers is company policy or only dependant on 3 points you explained and may be shifted to opensource in the future.Dec 20 19:15
amarsh04[2009-12-21 05:31] <bridgman> not sure I understand the question; if you're asking whether we would consider dropping fglrx if the open source driver was equally fast and feature-rich, I think the answer is probably yes; we just know how much work it is and don't see anyone who would benefit from investing that much effort in the open source driversDec 20 19:15
amarsh04I don't recall seeing any comments that spelled it out as clearly schestowitz, so go aheadDec 20 19:17

MinceRyes it isDec 20 20:50
MinceRthe number of bugs in the OS on the system decreases.Dec 20 20:50
yuhongYou won't have access to WinDbg and all these tools.Dec 20 20:50

yuhongNo.Dec 20 20:53
