Hey everyone, This email went out on Xorg I thought it might be useful for all of us stuck with ATI cards. We should all show our interest in AMD helping out the BSD community as well! Just like Nvidia has been doing!
-- Ali Mashtizadeh علی مشتی زاده ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dotan Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jun 15, 2007 1:14 PM Subject: AMD deciding _now_ what to do about Linux To: xorg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I wrote to AMD regarding the state of ATI Linux drivers and the company's view of the Linux community. This is the response I got: "Thanks - could you contact us again in July? We're reviewing our Linux strategy right now, so anything I tell you know could be out of date in weeks." You can read the whole message here: http://dotancohen.com/eng/linux_compatibility.php Feel free to Digg or /. it. Friends, NOW is the time to contact AMD and to let them know that we need their support. Please, write to them, call them, now is the time. Even for those who don't use AMD products, the precedent set here will most certainly echo throughout the hardware world. Take the 5 minutes and convince AMD that the Linux community cannot be ignored. Note: I have posted this letter to several mailing lists. Those who know me from those lists will know that I don't, as a rule, crosspost. However, I felt this to be important enough to cross the line and crosspost to the lists I felt would be interested.
