If we saw credible support for the existing DL1x5 chips in Linux for multiscreen, then that would be some motivation. Until that, people will just moan that we haven't bent the OS to work with our chips as well as Windows did with little change to the number of complaints we get.

I'm having a hard time comprehending what your trying to communicate here. Are you saying that "yes, we realize that Linux is a valuable target, but don't release specs nor proprietary drivers because Linux users whine and moan", or are you saying "our devs run ancient centos versions, and since that's the case anything we build will be deprecated"?
Please clarify your stance on this issue, as there clearly is a huge following that have your products but are prohibited from using them.
Again; reaching out to the community with some documentation would very well get you a long way, as it did with the libdlo drivers quite a few years back now. the pluggable guys even shipped embedded linux hardware using it, I can't see how this would be any different now..
