> OK, that calls out X.org as the reason why the drivers aren't being supported rather than Linux.

Ah, the Linux evangelist blame-game. It's a big advantage of a system being so haphazardly thrown together from separately developed components. Start by blaming the choice of distro, end up at "Linux is just a kernel".

I mean, I feel like that's valid in the context of this discussion. That being 'Linux's unstable driver API designed to push drivers as source into mainline causes ISVs headaches'.

How does that apply here when Linux didn't change and you can still use the same kernel driver, but some other component decided to not work with the driver anymore?
