AMD and Nvidia bitchfight over open source support
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, many pertaining to the brotherhood
| of linux have long had a gripe with AMD over
| its perceived âlesserâ support, an issue
| which really came to a head back in 2007,
| when things were possibly at their most dire
| in terms of AMD open source support.
|
| When we contacted the firm to find out why it
| was that it had such a bad rep on the linux
| street, we were told by John Bridgman of the
| firmâs software development engineering group
| that the image was undeserved.

Ubuntu Has Another Special ATI Catalyst Driver?
,----[ Quote ]
| The past three releases of Ubuntu Linux
| have included unreleased ATI Catalyst
| drivers. It started with Ubuntu 8.10, which
| got an early-access driver as the official
| Catalyst Linux driver that was available to
| the public at the time had not supported X
| Server 1.5. With Ubuntu 9.04, AMD was
| running behind at supporting X Server 1.6
| as found in the Jaunty Jackalope, so it too
| received an early ATI driver.
