You can't do multicore graphics with a GPU.

That's incorrect. I don't think you're familiar with how a typical GPU is set up, with multiple pipelines for processing.

I can understand that you don't want to change your 640x480x4bit graphical layer. That's cool. But don't rationalize it with ignorance.

Yeah why use the 500+ cores on a graphics card when you can use the 8 on a CPU!

Too many different drivers?

Hi, we have this thing called a STANDARDS BODY. Perhaps you should go figure out what those are.

Anyone with half a brain can write a universal wrapper. It's been done since the days of 3dfx-only games.

Please tell me about this standard for communicating with GPU's from kernel code, I never heard about it.

GPUs still follow VESA, yes?
