It's official: ATI Radeon drivers to be open sourced
Thursday, September 13, 2007 by PPV
Though the announcement is still pending with regards to the open sourcing of drivers for ATI graphics cards, Linux.com reports on its site that AMD will make code and specifications for ATI graphics cards available on the Internet.
Many Linux users and developers for sure will be happy upon hearing this great news. Aside from problems Linux users get when installing proprietary softwares like Java and Flash, one of the biggest problem is installing drivers for high-end video cards (SLI and Crossfire).
Linux already have Dell and Lenovo on its side. AMD/ATI on their camp is another win.
Does it mean penguins will consider ATI over Nvidia on their next purchase of video cards?
Creative, are you listening? Provide linux support for your blaster cards!
