    If it doesn't come with source code then you don't own it...

    Reading between the lines, this sounds like some binary blob that'll die a horrible death as soon as you update the x server. Somebody hit these guys with a cluebat until they contribute code upstream to the xorg project.

    No Opensource means, no game for linux users. Proprietary drivers at best
