This has had several goals: - a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers; - task-oriented targets for graphics use cases: + "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome or even essential but not performance critical, thus "a slower driver is fine as long as it does work"; + "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical, that is "no 3D means no use at all". Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers: the previous idea was to split out some common ground and then add the contenders on top of that; the current approach is based on the observation that the live images requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default* are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver support for that (like Matrox these days). Intel videodriver makes for a special case though: it is both free and top-notch performer. Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion. PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped; those who need these can usually help themselves.
