[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39404473]Google, would you mind funding an accelerated X11 driver? Because the Pi is unusable without it.[/QUOTE] You get what you pay for
[quote]0 software support from the people that sold you the hardware apparently.[/quote] Sounds liek MITS when they advertised the 8800. Box with lights and switches but you supply the software.
I think the makers of raspberry pi's are pretty bad. Before the rapid success they seemed to be more supportive of the platform but now they seem just in it for the money.
[QUOTE=Map in a box;39407876]but now they seem just in it for the money.[/QUOTE] They're not-for-profit. They can only do so much with the $25-$30 cut-off, though a couple months ago they were able to double the amount of RAM. (Though I can't recall if that was for both models or just the A model)
Doesn't mean they can't be in it for the money. [editline]29th January 2013[/editline] The hardware itself is pretty cheap so I'm sure they have quite a bit of money for doing whatever that is they do.
