ATI Has Open-Source Drivers Too
,----[ Quote ]
| For those that may be new to the Linux scene, ATI Technologies
| had released specifications to the Radeon R200 (8500 to 9200)
| series to X.Org developers quite a while ago. For those graphics
| cards, there is an excellent stable and open-source driver built
| into X.Org and since then ATI discontinued R200 support in their
| fglrx binary driver. However, support for the Radeon R300 series
| had to be reverse-engineered in order to construct a supportive
| driver (due to ATI not providing the needed specifications). The
| R300 driver now is nearly complete for desktop users wishing to
| play older games or simply benefit from Beryl and Compiz, but
| the driver is certainly not perfect.
