"The Open Source community has made it clear to us that they want notebook
PCs with levels of performance and engineering sophistication which have
typically only been available in desktop platforms. We have worked with
Precision Insight Inc. for several months in completing the release of
driver source code for NeoMagic's MagicGraph128 family of integrated
single-chip graphics solutions," said Saifee Fahkruddin, NeoMagic's
Director of Software Development. 

This new development with Neomagic attests to the power of the Open Source
Community as mobilized through Red Hat's XBF program. The XBF program was
designed to encourage hardware vendors to cooperate with the Open Source
community by proving to them that Linux driver support for their products
is good for their business.

Ye think they finally smelled the oncoming avoidance of their chipset?
