AMD Promises Open Source Graphics Drivers
"Henri Richard, AMD's VP of sales, has [url=http://enterpriselinuxlog.blogs.techtarget.com/2007/05/09/amd-will-deliver-open-graphics-drivers/][color=#000000]promised to deliver open-source drivers[/color][/url] for ATI graphics cards (recently acquired by AMD) at the recent [url=http://www.redhat.com/summit][color=#000000]Red Hat Summit[/color][/url]. A series of good news for proponents of open-source device drivers. In the last year, Intel, the leading provider of integrated graphics cards, has opened their drivers as well. But ATI and NVidia, the only two players in the market for high-performance discrete graphics cards, have so far released only closed-source drivers for their cards. This has created numerous compatibility, stability, and ethical problems for users of Linux and other open source OSes, and prompted projects like [url=http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/][color=#000000]Nouveau[/color][/url] to try and reverse-engineer NVidia drivers. Hopefully AMD's decision will put pressure on NVidia to release open-source drivers as well!"[url=http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/05/13/1659245.shtml]http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/05/13/1659245.shtml[/url] 早就要啦.....根本自己寫唔掂 #369#
