The correct place to look ATI related stuff is the
old GATOS project. Try:
http://linuxvideo.org/
I'am no longer listening the team but
I will try, soon... time, time time...

Nothing related with "Linux".
The problem is (as usual) related with
ATI itself and the chip specs/docs and
"proprietary/protected" crap. And tons
of lines of code to put together.

As a final result WE (stupid users/consumers including 
myself wich still owns AIW) are the final victims of 
the whole consumer model.

They win the game before even the start.
As usual.
