are there any open-source VGA drivers
i seem to remember that back when i was using 10.10 or an older one
that people where writing some opensource vga drivers for linux but i can't
seem to find a webpage for that project? i was wondering cause i like the idea
and want to install it and report bug fixes cause ubuntu
with opensource VGA drivers somehow I find the idea to be fun
and who knows maybe they will be even better/stable than the proprietary versions
