I for one will not buy any AMD or ATI components until they decide to fix the problem. Besides, chances are it's not Meyer who's making these decisions (re: proprietary hardware / NDA-only documentation), but a few select individuals at ATI who are fuelled off of paranoia (the most common defence being fear nVidia/other competitors will steal their technology). Really sounds like the decision of a legal dept. and not a CEO. Hounding on AMD won't help right now regardless; they're still finding out what kind of mess they've acquired, making changes to it is a long way off. :) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
