I think people need to take a step back and have a think about how much
money it costs to support top-class developers like those work/have worked
on the DRI. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Unless
the IHVs (or other companies) want to support it, I seriously doubt the
open-source 3D graphics world will progress much further. Is the G400/r128
class of hardware relevant anymore? That's the last generation to see
anything approaching full support by open-source drivers.
