i don't think it is enough.
not getting more with the glamo cannot be the standard and rational to put  
us in the same situation again.
these only partial open drivers are almost as evil as the closed ones --  
when something important changes you can't change the driver's internals  
and when qualcomm finally decides to drop the development of drivers you  
are stuck with driver rapidly becoming obsolete.
i've lived w/ ati and nvidia drivers for the past few years and it ain't  
no fun.
