And for the record, I'm not convinced we do. I think it's more productive to make sure things work with the free drivers than going out of our way to support proprietary drivers.
Then you're probably working for the wrong project (and even company).
Most
of the targeted by Wine Windows applications are not free and not open

Can we avoid personal attacks please?
Is calling a thing ridiculous called a "personal attack" these days? When one of core d3d developers (who happens to work for CodeWeavers) starts to advertise free drivers in preference to proprietary ones, while main target and revenue source for CodeWeavers currently are MacOSX users, this at least sounds weird and strange, especially taking into account amount of Mac/Apple specific quirks in the wined3d code (including supported extenstions tweaks). Or probably 'make test' in Wine no longer crashes and has no failures with nouveau drivers? Or probably now it's nouveau who privdes bleeding edge hardware and drivers for linux? Not even mentioning that Henri decided to completely ignore questions in the patch.
Am I missing something?
