Click to expand...

they had, when they tried to make it able to combine every ATI GPU with every NVIDIA GPU.
Limitations, like making this driver set ONLY for the GPU Model in the enclosure, in combination with, lets say, only APUs and Intel HD Graphics... that will make the amount of possible configurations so small, that Lucid will have far less problems implementing it in a satisfying way ;)
