Nobody has ever said that about the *2D* parts, and I specifically mentioned "unencumbered 2D parts" above. Intel needs to get its head out of its ass WRT Poulsbo and gets out some 2D bits, and stops working in private trees and stop doing code dumps only to Ubuntu. Seriously, is that team even *part* of Intel? Because the Poulsbo Linux team is completely different than any of the other Intel Linux teams I've had the actual pleasure of interacting with.
