Is this binary only drive a message that ATI is not going to release Open Source info anymore? That would be disappointing. Or is this just a temporary issue driven by things that we don't need to know about. I have always been a bit more comfortable with ATI under Linux feeling that some smart programmer would step up if there was a big issue that needed to be addressed.
