Most of you have already seen this: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=302 If ATI follows through with this initiative in the way that is laid out here, then there will finally be fully supported graphics drivers available for ATI on Linux. This is a welcome addition to the rather short list of "good" graphics cards for Linux (which currently consists of Intel and, well, that's about it) and ATI cards can be purchased stand-alone and not just built -in to a motherboard. If ATI cards obtain the level of open source support that Intel has right now, this can be nothing but a very good thing for everyone involved. You never know.... perhaps this will put sufficient pressure on Nvidia to finally "do the right thing" as well, and we will finally have all of the common graphics cards properly supported out-of-the-box when setting up a computer. This announcement is the best news that I've heard all week. Of course, it's all in the follow through and it will be very interesting to see how this plays out over the next few months. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
