http://www.advogato.org/person/mharris/diary.html?start=5<quote> ATI submitted open source patches for the Radeon 9500 hardware about the time it was released. That was many many months ago. That patch still hasn't been integrated into XFree86 CVS, and as time goes on, I am thinking it is very likely not going to get integrated into 4.3.0 either. Just yesterday, ATI sent me 2 or 3 more patches that build upon the last patch they submitted which wasn't applied. How long is ATI going to continue submitting patches to XFree86.org that take 9 months to get into CVS, and then perhaps another 4-6 months to be available in an OS distribution? Quite frankly, if I were ATI, and submitting patches as frequently as they do, and the patches just sat there, I might start thinking twice about bothering in the future. </quote> Maybe call a fork XFree2003 to make the point?
