The point is though that NONE of them offer OpenGL acceleration - and none of them even can offer it because IBM has not made the info available to write such drivers... Not every video card supports acclerated scaling for DIVE, and yes, the elsa card is one of the few that does ... unfortunately that ( "endive" ) never seems to work properly on any of the cards that support it.
