AMD 8.34.8 Display Driver - (Benchmarks)
,----[ Quote ]
| For the past few releases we have also been spotting changes "under
| the hood" with the firegl_public code. Well, compared against the
| 8.33.6 release, in 8.34.8 are over 1200 lines of fresh new code!
| This is nice to see, but unfortunately, most of the magic we are
| looking for resides in the closed-source portion. The fglrx 8.34.8
| also has not adopted the changes needed for the Linux 2.6.20 Kernel.
| However, many distribution packages (including Fedora) have adopted
| a patch to temporarily enable this support.

R500 Reverse Engineering
,----[ Quote ]
| David Airlie has mentioned to me this week that a new reverse engineering
| group has begun work on the ATI/AMD R500 series. David is not taking part
| in this group (due to existing NDAs with ATI), but this project is current
| led by Jerome Glisse. Jerome was one of the open-source r300 drivers, and
| he also has another one or two others helping out.
