If we really want to use that sucker "GPU" term, I'm gonna call my
GUS ACE (GF1) as "SPU".

Yeah, and dnetc RC5-64 worked best on Cyrix MX/M2 CPUs. So much for
dnetc-benchmarking. (even dnetc's RTFM says this..)

I hope you don't mean to say it's "buggy software" instead of "buggy hardware".
A'rpi once killed a Hercules _display_ with wrong timings ;)

xf86 developers just simply suck, we all have true stories about them and
XFree86. No wonder Keith Packard (Xvesa, Xfbdev, and probably other cool
stuffz) decided to fork that bloated shit.

lm_sensors' SMBUS _reading_ function totally nukes IBM ThinkPad notebooks. So I
guess lm_sensors is buggy, isn't it??? :)
