,----[ Quote ]
| If you happen to have Google's Nexus One or
| other phones based upon Qualcomm's Snapdragon
| processor, there is great news today.
| Qualcomm has just released an open-source
| 2D/3D kernel driver for their OpenGL ES
| graphics processor. This Qualcomm kernel
| driver provides support for interrupts,
| command streams, context switching, memory
| management, etc. Qualcomm is looking to push
| this code into the mainline Linux kernel
| ASAP.

Qualcomm's Open Kernel Driver Leads To A Dirty Mess
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, it sounded nice when Qualcomm announced
| an open-source 2D/3D kernel driver for their
| Snapdragon platform that's used by phones
| like the Nexus One and Dell Streak, but it
| turns out that their user-space Linux driver
| that hooks into this kernel driver is
| currently a closed-source blob. This has led
| to the eternal debate about open-source
| kernel components but with only closed-source
| components.

| rival, which claims that Qualcomm is using
| patent-related incentives to discourage
| customers from doing business with Icera.
