Many Linux users have expressed concern over ATI's Catalyst
Linux drivers for various reasons, but most of these users seem to be
taking the wrong approach. These users express their disapproval and seek
improvements by flaming on forums, forming petitions, bombarding the
BugZilla, and using the ATI feedback form. However, this isn't really
effective. On Michael's Phoronix web-blog he has outlined some strategies
for actively engaging ATI/AMD's OEM/ODM/AIB partners in seeking Linux
display driver improvements. He also states that at least one major OEM is
interested in improved Linux drivers, but they are afraid of adverse
effects to the Windows Catalyst drivers.
Check it out over at Phoronix.
