Fasiken i helvete?
AMD kommer inte uppdatera stödet för de äldre korten i någon form av legacydrivrutin heller.
Citat från artikeln:
NVIDIA has been using a similar approach where their once very unified driver architecture now spans three legacy drivers. NVIDIA's three legacy Linux drivers plus their main Linux driver are all updated regularly with fixes and support for newer kernel / X Server releases, while new features are generally bound to their newest driver that supports the GeForce 6 series and later. AMD will be moving the R300/400/500 support to just a single legacy driver, but this branch will not be maintained. In fact, do not really look for legacy driver updates after April, as AMD does not intend to add support for newer kernel / X.Org server releases to this driver.
Will this move generate greater benefits within the open-source ATI stack? It does not appear AMD will be ramping up on their open-source efforts.
Stödet i de öppna drivrutinerna är fortfarande långt ifrån helt hundra åtminstone för R400, R500. Va fan?
