Seems that ATI-AMD will open up their graphics drivers: http://lwn.net/Articles/248227/
"A quick report from the kernel summit: AMD's representative at the summit has announced that the company has made a decision to enable the development of open source drivers for all of its (ATI) graphics processors from the R500 going forward. There will be specifications available and a skeleton driver as well; a free 2D driver is anticipated by the end of the year. The rest will have to be written; freeing of the existing binary-only driver is not in the cards, and "that is better for everybody." Things are looking good on this front. More in the kernel summit report to come." Sadly, it seems that cards prior to R500 will remain closed source though. I wonder how nvidia will react to this. And I hope this kind of behaviour becomes a new trend :D -- An OpenBSD user... and that's all you need to know =) Please, send private emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
