It's a shame making drivers isn't a simple task. I wonder if we could put the money to use paying the chipset makers to make the drivers? I dunno, just shootin the poop.

I think HTCClassAction.org has been trying to do that for a while now. Theres over $7000 raised in the kaiser forum.

I doubt there is one developer out there who will come along and claim this. If there is, they aren't talking. There is a group of developers (myself included) who would love to tackle this if and only if there is a better organized team effort. Right now there's an 'every man for himself' attitude going around. We're not going to get very far doing that. I know that I can develop a piece of these drivers but not the entire thing, I believe this is the case for a number of developers.

I suggest heading toward ATI forums to find an experienced independent developer and send him to this and the kaiser thread lol

I know this is a little off, but what happens to the money if no one claims this prize

Well as far as I know noone has gone and created a special "money-holding" account so if noone claims the prize then noone has to send the money.

It may... I wouldn't get super exited thinking it will happen though. I'm thinking that some experienced developer might like that ~~8000$ prize...
