Linux.com :: It's official: ATI Radeon drivers to be open sourced: "AMD briefed Linux.com this morning on a pending announcement regarding the open sourcing of drivers for ATI graphics cards. It's official -- AMD will make code and specifications for ATI graphics cards available on the Internet on September 10."

This is absolutely great news for anyone who is running Linux and is stuck with the current available drivers for ATI cards. If all goes well, perhaps we will actually be able to use our cards to their full extents, at the very least in 2D mode. Apparently, they will have issues with the 3D side, because some of the 3D instructions are based on closed-source software...

I would be extremely happy if I could just be able to use the TV out function the way I would like to. Thank you AMD/ATI, and the open-source coders who will contribute to this project.
