status of 3D support on Linux

[Udo Rader]

Hi,

we are currently evaluating our options on getting 3D support for Linux 
based devices and were stunned to find that currently only the 
proprietary nVidia driver is supported on Linux.

Now after http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-24712 ("Support ATI/AMD 
GPU on the Linux platform") has been resolved I am wondering what that 
means.

So, 3 questions:

#1 does resolving the above issue bring 3D support to Linux for AMD/ATI 
devices?

#2 what about other GPUs, such as the extremely common Intel HD GPUs?

#3 any plans to support OpenSource/Gallium3D based drivers (ie 
nouveau/radeon)?

IMHO bringing 3D support to Linux based (embedded) devices is very 
important to bring JavaFX forward.

Regards

Udo
