Ok, let me jump through another hoop here. The latest desktop graphics card model I can find on the ATI website is called "ATI Radeon HD 5970". They claim it to be the fastest graphics card on the planet. Point me to the specs, pretty please? I searched all around Xorg website, ATI website, used google... Didn't find them. > They also pay people (Alex Deucher for instance) to develop a free driver. > See: > http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=43 > http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=47 > http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=48 > So we get specifications and a free driver.

And who supports their own hardware at all? Opensource-ness is immaterial here, ATI doesn't have *any* drivers which would work in F12, for their own latest&greatest graphics card.
