AMD Releases R600/700 3D Documentation

,----[ Quote ]
| In late December, AMD had released open-source R600/700 code used to begin 
| supporting 2D and 3D acceleration for the latest ATI graphics processors 
| under Linux using an open-source stack. This code in its initial form just 
| provided basic but fast 2D acceleration and on the 3D side was only able to 
| draw triangles. This month an AMD Video BIOS Disassembler was released by 
| Novell, which is one of AMD's open-source partners. This evening, however, 
| AMD has released its R600 3D specifications to the general public.

| For those of you watching xorg-commits, you may have noticed that MPX has

| have been merged quietly last week already, this time is just the xserver
| itself.
