Seriously. AMD is doing great with ATI -- they're doing exactly what we asked, which is to _document the hardware interface_ so that we can write drivers. If they did _more_ (ala Intel with its gfx chips), I'm sure we'd all be happy, but it's absolutely absurd to _criticize_ them (as Camaleón is doing) for what's a very reasonable and forward-thinking approach. [and remember, in the long run, good documentation is far more valuable than "drivers"] -Miles -- 97% of everything is grunge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
