sfcrazy writes "It seems that recent comments made by Linus Torvalds have made the people at NVIDIA take Linux more seriously. Recently Nvidia employee Stephen Warren asked in the Kernel Summit mailing list what could be done differently to make Linux support better. 'In a Google+ comment, Linus noted that we have mainly been contributing patches for Tegra SoC infra-structure details. I'm curious what other areas people might expect me/NVIDIA to contribute to. I assume the issue is mainly the lack of open support for the graphics-related parts of our HW, but perhaps there's some expectation that we'd also start helping out some core area of the kernel too? Would that kind of thing help our image even if we didn't open up our HW?'"http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Nvidia+Engineer+Asks+How+the+Company+C an+Improve+Linux+Support%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F Lgn0Ao)http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F12%2F06%2F24%2F0248208%2Fnvidia-engineer-asks-how-the-company-can-improve-linux-support%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/06/24/0248208/nvidia-engineer-asks-how-the-company-can-improve-linux-support?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
