Open-Source ATI Driver Achieves Major R500 3D Success
,----[ Quote ]
| After some recent work today, Compiz is now working on R500 graphics cards
| using the open-source xf86-video-ati and the latest Mesa git. In addition,
| the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo is even running! There is now parity between
| the open-source R500 3D support and the level of Mesa support for the older
| R200/300/400 generations! This is one hell of a milestone.

[1] Intel "paid vendors not to use AMD"
,----[ Quote ]
| AMD filed suit in Delaware against Intel in June of 2005, accusing its
| competitor of abusing its monopolistic position. The complaint charges that
| customers were forced not to use AMD processors. At that time the Japanese
| anti-trust body was investigating Intel and the EU Commission also had its
| eye on Intel's behaviour.

,----[ Quote ]
| Starting off the X.Org talks at FOSDEM 2008 was AMD's John Bridgman, who has
| been leading the AMD GPG open-source efforts. John had talked briefly about
| the history of their open-source efforts for the R500+ series and the
| evolution of AMD GPU hardware. Among the interesting comments made were that
| TexturedVideo/X-Video support for the R500/600 may be coming quite soon, DRM
| and Mesa work forthcoming, open-source multi-GPU multi-GPU support is on the
| road-map, and they will be re-releasing R200 programming documents. The RV620
| and RV635 documentation is expected in the near future.
