Free Training from The Linux Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| Who says you don't get something for
| nothing? Certainly not the good people over
| at The Linux Foundation (TLF) who're
| offering free Linux training. TLF is doing
| its part for the worldwide Linux community
| by offering this free training plus the
| Linux Jobs Board and all of its other
| services. I paused to write this post
| before going there to sign-up for the whole
| list myself.

Wow, XGI Does Something With Its Linux Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| XGI had worked to provide a full open-
| source driver stack for the Volari 8300
| series, but that graphics card never ended
| up being widely available. As XGI faded
| away, IBM worked on the XGI Linux driver
| and wrote the XG40 GPU support along with
| other changes as some XGI graphics
| processors wound up in some IBM systems.
| Ian Romanick was the one working on this
| unpopular Linux driver at IBM, but in 2008
| he went to work for Intel, which meant a
| final blow to XGI's Linux support.

| Providing support for the ARM architecture
| so late in the game is rather interesting,
| unless XGI Technology is looking to revive
| itself by providing GPUs for new
| mobile/netbook devices. XGI's most recent
| press release is from May 2009 where they
| announced the Volari Z11 GPU for embedded
| ARM-based systems such as the Marvell
| Kirkwood.

Linux Foundation To Take Stab At 3D Patent Issue
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, however, it looks like the Linux Foundation could
| get involved along with the Open Invention Network (OIN)
| to hopefully reach a proper agreement with the patent/IP
| holders. Greg Kroah-Hartman brought this 3D patent issue
| up with the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board to
| see what can be done. At this time they are still
| setting up a meeting.
