We need to start hounding on AMD to publish the developer

Here's the email address of AMD's president: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Give him your two cents.

Since AMD/ATI doesn't make a native driver for FreeBSD, I only buy
notebooks with nvidia, and I told my friends about this.
We as FreeBSD users could write about this in our blogs and pages,
which will widespread the word about the driver issues in better way,
as long as more users aware of this, this will force AMD/ATI to look
into the issue deeper, and work it out.
This would be better than emailing the AMD CEO IMHO.
