Last year when AMD announced their acquisition of ATI it led
many to wonder how this would impact the quality of their Linux support
and driver. Some had even speculated that AMD would be opening the code
to at least a subset of their graphics drivers, and while this issue has
come up again more recently, we will cover this particular topic in a
different article. In this article we will be exposing what truly
consists of the ATI/AMD driver development cycle and ultimately what
they are really doing to improve their image in the Linux community. We
have been granted unprecedented access to share with you their once
unknown driver development model.
