As some of you know already, I have a fulltime job at ATI's Linux team
now. I'll continue being active in the DRI and X communities as time
permits. If you have any development related questions or suggestions
about the proprietary ATI drivers, please don't hesitate to contact my
manager Matthew Tippett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and CC me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
