Intel opened its graphic chips to Open Source

Even though Intel does not manufacturer (yet) video cards, they are in first place concerning a graphic solution using a chipset such as the GMA950 or the GM X3100 that we have seen in certain Macs. Intel has just published this documentation that allows developers in the 'free' world, led by Linux, to develop drivers that have better 2D and 3D support. We assume that this has been motivated by at least two things: - Intel has never been particularly strong with its video products. In this way it can use the development made by others to improve their product. - they must also prepare for 2009 when their graphic solution must compete with AMD and NVidia who have a project known only by its code name "larrabee". Let us hope that Apple can also issue something to the Open Source community working in this segment! [translation by crispin]
