AMD to offer non open source drivers for linux, better than none that is

[fleamailman]

AMD's ATI division is reversing its open source strategy by offering better open source drivers.

ATI will now develop fully functional 2D and 3D drivers for Linux. Although the drivers are still closed source, the firm will release documentation that allows third-party developers to build and support their own drivers.

We'll see. I have 4 o 5 ATI cards and had vowed no more. Nvidia from here on out. Hopefully ATI can catch up.
