Thank you for doing this work. We really need to get the open-source ATI driver on par with the propretary driver (both feature-wise and performance-wise).


But sadly we will NEVER match it.

NO SmoothVision, HyperZ docu ever....

The nonfree xig driver has been developed without HyperZ docs and outperforms fglrx.



Even though I just have a Radeon 9200, I'm very excited about the
ongoning R300 effort and with there was a similar project for NVidia
cards too.


Above applies here, too. - Sorry.

The situation seems to be much worse in the future.
Bad IP (TRIPS, etc.) madness due to USA-"law".


True. ATI no longer releases docs. 3dlabs no longer does. Nvidia never did. Intel requires an NDA now. If there weren't all those patents out there we might just try to develop a free graphics chip.
