Sure, but not to people in the general open source community, and with the demise of
PI/VA, I would say the chances of a driver done by anyone other than ATI are slim to

Keep in mind that ATI was paying VA Linux to develop Radeon Linux drivers at
the time.

guess the same policy will apply in this case

to CVS. They work at least in my limited testing.

Hello people!
I was just wondering, what's the plan regarding

I been hearing rumors about ATI switching to
