AMD is actively working to opensource the *nic drivers for the ATI cards
starting with the most recent. From a news article iI came across they were
actually hiring a whole new department whose sole purpose was to add more of
the older cards to the open sorce drivers as well as eventually having 3d
acceleration. As for the NEW 4000 series, the card will come with full drivers
for windows and Linux on the install CD. granted there is still some coding to
get BSD drivers, but AMD is making life better for *nix user with ATI cards.
