That's fine -- I wasn't suggesting that.  But, for the people who can 
actually do this job, the r128/G400 isn't terribly interesting anymore. 
Isn't the whole open source thing about developers scratching an itch?

Talk with Keith and Brian, I'm sure they'd agree with me.  We are graphics 
programmers for a reason, and keeping up to date with the latest research 
and rendering techniques is important as a result.  I'd rather be making a 
difference to the state-of-the-art than tweaking a driver I wrote 18 months 
ago.  But that's just me...
