[nylug-talk] Video Cards....

[Joseph M. Gaffney]

The Open Graphics Project - they called for driver developers in August, 
stating that they would have cards ready for testing "soon", and said they 
would have cards in an LWN article iirc sometime around August or September 
to bring to F/LOSS companies to ask for support.  Obviously, we're past that 
point... haven't seen anything more recent on it.
