Lots of people are willing to help, but it's very naive to think that
random hackers are going to reverse engineer these complicated drivers in
any kind of reasonable time frame.  Open source drivers for new 3D gear
depend entirely on satisfactory specifications from the vendors.  Without
them, we are screwed.
