Testing Out AMD's DRI2 Driver Stack
| |
Posted on Friday, May 15 2009 @ 06:01:24 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
For as long as I can recall, ATI/AMD video cards have
typically had decent support in Linux. It's not hard to pick out points
in time where drivers were slow to come (R300 sticks out in my mind),
but that was not due to the lack of effort by the open-source community
as it was the difficulty reverse engineering a chip with no
documentation. Intel seems to be the one getting most of the press these
days regarding their open-source graphics support, but AMD is putting
forth its own notable effort as well. They have multiple full time
employees working on open-source support and have released
specifications and programming documentation for their entire range of
chips. The past few months have seen a flurry of activity in graphics
related development, and a fair amount of this is centered around AMD
hardware.
