Nvidia provide open 2D but not 3D so you get basic 2D work
Older Radeon is supported

newer (roughly "post Xbox contract") Radeon is not supported and AMD are
actively blocking even 2D support.

Correct. AMD are blocking release of code for this. Please make sure AMD
understand you don't like it. Please understand that for many kernel
