Ian, this is what ATI tells to people when they request the specs and don't mention that its for the DRI project. They don't relly mean that you can get a copy from the others DRI developers, just that you can refer to them for that. Reply to ATI, stress that you're trying to help in the DRI development, that you're radeon owner and that you particularly want to help in debugging and bugfixing. Also give some background about yourself so that they fill confident in releasing the specs to you, and perhaps you succeed. If you already read the NDA section on the FAQ you know that this is quite often complicated. Be patient. The specs aren't that useful in the beginning (some are just a bunch of tables whose contents is already on the DRI tree as a C header). Understanding the radeon driver code will give much more understanding than the specs do. (And you'll get the specs sooner or later anyway).
