Hi,

The problem with writing those 3D drivers is not complexity
or "historic baggage" in the X codebase. It is the fact that
only the vendors know how the cards work, and most of them
won't tell us.

To which the solution is: buy the cards that work, and screw the rest.

Just out of curiosity: Do you know any currently sold cards that support
XVideo, OpenGL and for which open source drivers are available?

With friendly regards,
Takis
