AMD opens Radeon GPUs to open source development
According to Christopher Blizzard, AMD is making the commitment to do two major things:
* To develop a fully functional 2D and 3D driver that supports all of their newer radeon chipsets for Linux. This will be done in full collaboration with the open source community and will have the direct participation of hackers from companies like Red Hat and Novell.
* To release documentation that anyone can use to build and support drivers for their chips.
Should be more information coming in the next week, hopefully this will lead to Haiku getting 3D support on the ATI driver.
