Open-Source 3D Success For Radeon RV770
,----[ Quote ]
| We have just found out from AMD's John Bridgman that Alex Deucher, one of
| their open-source engineers, has today successfully rendered its first
| hardware-accelerated triangle on the Radeon HD 4800 series (RV770). In other
| words, the first open-source 3D milestone for this latest graphics card
| family from ATI!

Tipping point. NVIDIA is falling behind.
NVIDIA Releases OSS Driver Update
,----[ Quote ]
| While NVIDIA's NVISION 3D conference is taking place this week, we have yet
| to hear anything in regards to Linux announcements. However, NVIDIA has
| updated its open-source driver. Sadly though, their open-source driver is
| still the xf86-video-nv driver with its 2D limitations and obfuscated code.

NVIDIA Releases Yet Another Linux Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past week we've seen the NVIDIA 177.67 binary driver for Linux which
| was outdone by the NVIDIA 177.68 driver just two days later. The 177.70 Beta
| driver was then released this morning with fixes and other enhancements since
| the 177.68 driver.

Review: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ET:QW)
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to games you can buy 'off the shelf' at your local game store,
| the list of ones that can be installed natively (without wine) on Linux is
| very short. The list gets extremely short if you only want to include newer
| games. Thankfully, companies like id Software openly support Linux and
| provide not only installers for Linux, but have also open sourced some of
| their earlier engines (Quake 1, 2 and 3). They continue this support with
| their latest game; Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ET:QW).
