3D with Open Source Drivers - ATI is coming on strong
,----[ Quote ]
| The short version: packages for Fedora 8 and 9 are underway; I’ve read
| nothing so far within the Debian pages I’m following, but once that patch
| arrives in Sid, we all know it will take some 10 days or so to make it into
| Lenny as well.
|
| This is great news indeed. Finally, we can start thinking about actually
| buying ATI graphics. And choice is what it’s all about, right?

Future AMD GPUs To Be More Open-Source Friendly?
,----[ Quote ]
| AMD is on the heels of releasing the next set of GPU programming
| documentation to aide in the development of the open-source R500/600 drivers
| (xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd). It's already been discussed what
| this NDA-free documentation release will have, but one of the questions that
| have repeatedly come up is if/when AMD will release information on
| accelerated video playback. AMD's John Bridgman has now stated what they plan
| to release in the video realm as well as a new requirement for their future
| graphics processors: being open-source friendly while avoiding DRM.
