That's entirely wrong. It doesn't even make much logical sense. If we didn't care about 'the desktop' - i.e., in this case, writing good drivers for ATI and NVIDIA video cards - we wouldn't be paying people to do that. The very fact that we _do_ pay people to work on the Intel, ATI and NVIDIA open source drivers (and the core of X itself) is ample proof that we care. If we didn't, we wouldn't have hired those people in the first place. Bill's post isn't wrong in any respect, but it's just a description of a situation that everyone knows damn well about already. Everyone working on X is aware that the entire thing is a gigantic moving target, but restating the problem doesn't help anyone move forward... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
