Hi,

we are currently evaluating our options on getting 3D support for Linux based devices and were stunned to find that currently only the proprietary nVidia driver is supported on Linux.

Now after http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-24712 ("Support ATI/AMD GPU on the Linux platform") has been resolved I am wondering what that means.

So, 3 questions:

#1 does resolving the above issue bring 3D support to Linux for AMD/ATI devices?

#2 what about other GPUs, such as the extremely common Intel HD GPUs?

#3 any plans to support OpenSource/Gallium3D based drivers (ie nouveau/radeon)?

IMHO bringing 3D support to Linux based (embedded) devices is very important to bring JavaFX forward.

Regards

Udo
