They are very friendly actually. They provided me mach64 and r128 docs (under NDA) within 24 hours after I registered with them (last week). Although I must confess I've been recommended, it still shows that they are completely OK. I don't see any problems on the communication level, perhaps now that less people get paid for developing the drivers the pace will slow down, but not stop.
What developers can do is to recommend ATI cards to end-users, so there is
larger need for the drivers and larger chance someone would be willing to pay
for them.
