An evident case of lack of motivation :) paid work : dull but pays good money. free work : interesting, no money. Makes it a tricky choice when the electricity bills arrive, although I know which I'd prefer to be doing, I don't think it's just the motivation, it's a matter of having enough time to do it. If work's paid by the hour it costs money to do this. If more documentation was available it would be easier to get involved as well, this applies to everyone from the driver writers to the chipset manufacturors. (I never thought I'd be saying that about anything, but it's true, you can't expect people to just jump into the driver and know how to make the changes needed to get it to work for card xyz) Is there more documentation, and details of what needs work soonest for pcm, and who's making the changes ?
