ATI is not known for good driver support in Linux ----- Original Message ----- From: "Goga777" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "VDR Mailing List" <vdr@linuxtv.org> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 6:13 AM Subject: [vdr] new videocard from ATI with hardware decoding of HD video -UVD2

Future product generations may be of a more modular design, but there's potentially good news surrounding the open-source UVD on the RV770. Its UVD2 design isn't modular, but AMD's John Bridgman believes there may be a way to open up UVD2 without comprising their DRM obligations. Open-source CrossFire/CrossFireX is also possible, but we'll save talking about that until the open-source developers have got more 3D work tackled > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > vdr mailing list > vdr@linuxtv.org > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
