Once again, I’ve change the look and feel of my blog to a new theme. I figured out that you all must be bored and tired with the previous theme, so I decided that an overhaul to blog’s look and feel would be appropriate.

I chose the new theme because I felt that it emphasis on readability for my loyal blog readers, with easy to navigate links and straight forward interface, hope you like it as well as I am. Please give a feedback on the new blog look, so I might have an idea of what you’re expecting from my blog

I guess GNU/Linux users may have already familiar with the problem related to to 3d graphic cards available nowadays. While they work fine on your Linux operating system, their 3D hardware acceleration heavily depends on closed source binary-only driver.

This means that the driver bloats the system, taints the kernel, and even threat the stability of the operating system. Closed source driver means that we’ve to depend on the vendor for new releases of graphic card driver and bugfixes.

The open graphic card solves those problem by making all specification of the graphic card available under the terms of GNU General Public License. The open graphic card is 3D accelerated video card which is fully documented, free-licensed, and available as open source driver.

Though the open graphic card is not as powerful as the current latest ATI and NVIDIA graphic card, the project itself seems promising, with the prospect of supported free operating system such as GNU/Linux and BSD variant operating system.

According to its website, the PCI and AGP version of the graphic card is given priority first than PCI-express interface. Due to low production output, the estimated card will cost about USD 200, but it will support 3D hardware acceleration nevertheless.
