I apologize for getting over heated. I'm very protective of the companies that work in the embedded space. I don't want to see them go away. They are vitial to linux. I know this might get some people upset but IMNSHO the linux community is going after the wrong goal. Everyone keeps thinking desktop PC. We don't have the resources to win that war and second the PC is NOT the future. I work for a asian company and when you go to the asian rim you see that the latest technology is in the embedded space. Look all around you. Embedded devices are everywhere. In stoplights, cars, supermarkets, tv, dvd players. Next time you use your printer look at the little display. Guess what? That printer is most likely a linux box and that little display is a framebuffer devices. How do I know? Because I wrote that code for the last company I worked at. For the embedded space we do have the resources to win that area of the market if we provide the tools they need to succeed. What do most people use there laptops for. Mostly playing movies. I also see embedded devices coming to this market soon that do the same thing for alot less money. Even the 3D graphics market is moving away from the PC to game consoles. > My one worry about the discussion is that because of confusion over where the > X developers are hanging out nowadays, they are missing out on having their > say on this - and they probably care deeply about modesetting.
