Hi Bryce,

thanks for your extended explanation about how things go.
I told my feelings as consumer, not open source developer. As open
source developer and supporter I am really happy of Intel's
open-source-friendly strategy.
But as a consumer I am really screwed up about the fact that Windows
drivers are complete and Linux drivers are no more.
It still does not seem that they want to support a 'market' for desktop
Linux users, I know that there is not really one right now but this is
not helping creating one.

I have tried giving a look to the i810 codebase and intel codebase but
could not understand which differing parts are responsible for the
TV-OUT, seems like I am not that good.
