S3 is accused of lack of Linux driver development capabilities

S3 announced the Chrome 540 GTX video card last week. S3 claims that this is an interface-powerful HD video card that supports both HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI. in the press release, Chrome 540 GTX supports Linux and OpenGL 3. 0. however, Linux users recently pointed out that S3's Linux driver is far from being used.These Linux users discuss the most about OpenGL 3.0 support on the Linux platform. according to S3's official press release, Chrome 540 GTX supports Linux and even mentions the GPGPU engine. however, Linux users pointed out that S3 made the same statement in the press release of Chrome last November GT in 530, saying that Chrome 530 GT supports OpenGL 3.0 and Linux. however, so far, S3 has not released any Linux driver.

At that time, the us pr representative of S3 said that the Linux driver of Chrome 530 GT will be available in middle December, and there will be a test version of the OpenGL 3.0 acceleration driver. however, in late December, the Linux driver was still missing and even linked to OpenGL 1. x or 2. none of the drivers supported by x appear.
Now, the Linux Driver issue of Chrome 500 series has been raised again. When does S3 release the Linux driver of Chrome 500 series. we need to know that S3 fell into the competition among many video card manufacturers due to driver problems.
