Exciting us in the Linux 2.6.32 kernel is the ATI R600/700 kernel mode-setting and 3D support along with the VGA Arbitration code and the KMS page-flipping ioctl."

...won't that makes Linux even more bloated and ugly ? Shouldn't be a driver be... a driver, and not a kernel module ? Linus was bitching with Andrew about micro-kernel vs. monolithic kernel, it has then be proven the superiority of Andrew's solution : more stable, easier to upgrade and maintain, just more elegant. And all of this for what, 2% CPU slowdown ("the cost of the -ugly?- meat bags") Frankly, with current overpowered multi-cores CPU, I think current software can handle, even Microsoft is forwarding in that path !
