NVIDIA Developer Talks Openly About Linux Support
In late August we started asking our readers for any questions they had for NVIDIA about Linux and this graphics company's support of open-source operating systems. Many thanks go out to Andy Ritger for taking the time to answer these questions as well as to NVIDIA's Technical Marketing Manager, Sean Kilbride, for supporting this Q&A.
Q: How does the driver team ascribe priority to what will be developed in each release?
Priority is determined through a combination of:
a) OEM customer-reported issues,
Input from our workstation marketing group,
c) New GPUs scheduled to be released, and
d) Hot issues as reported by NVIDIA Linux users through direct user feedback and via various Linux user forums.
Q: What code management does NVIDIA use and are team members allowed to keep private branches in order to target specific issues (like new kernel or X.Org support)?
