Hello everybody,
Why not use a middleway proposal : for the R2, be able to load and use
binary drivers of linux ?
like as a ndsiwrapper was doing on linux for use wifi windows drivers as
example.
The basic drivers API are not so far and a little wrapping can be usefull
for the missing/divergent functionnalities.
And why not a source level compatibility for drivers.
But its limited to the kernel drivers (so no Xorg of course,its an other
journey) and not native yet drivers.
Just my 2 cents in this burning hearths discuss ;)
