This might interest some people here:

| Quote: | Gabe Newell of Valve, the company behind Steam and the Source Engine, has allegedly sent over a message to Phoronix.
As mentioned on Twitter yesterday afternoon, he allegedly sent over an email. I expressed caution as he's not the one I normally deal with regarding Linux gaming matters, so I'm still waiting on official confirmation, but here's his email below.
| Quote: | We are running into a bunch of performance issues in Linux drivers (e.g. 50 millisecond draw calls because the driver is compiling a shader).
We'd like to hire someone to work on these performance issues. If you know of anyone we should be talking to, I'd appreciate getting connected with them.
Gabe Newell
Valve, Bellevue |
Anyone up for this work?
Update: I've now been able to attain independent confirmation with Valve (here). This isn't an April Fools' Joke or anything else. They're in need of more Linux folks; will try to get more information to share after the first of the month, since many Phoronix Forums users remain unconvinced about any Valve Linux interests. |

Riposte http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1819795#1819795
The problem is Gabe never signs his emails like that and phoronix has been claiming that Valve is working on something like that for the past 4? years or something. We'll see..
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

Yeah I am gonna call BS on this one too.
Sure, valve can find no one to help so they are emailing forums online.
phoronix is handy for news and stuff, but I find it hard to believe that valve wouldnt pick up the phonbe and call someone at Nvidia / AMD.
Mind you with fglrx under linux who knows
