Last week we exclusively shared the steps AMD was taking to
make an evolutionary leap in Linux support with same-day support for
their brand-new Radeon HD 4800 series, Linux drivers shipping on the
product CD, some manufacturers showcasing Tux on the product packaging,
and their proprietary Linux driver reaching a feature parity with their
Windows driver. We had also shared that the Radeon HD 4850 works with
open-source xf86-video-ati driver since day one. Now that we have had
time to complete testing of the Radeon HD 4850, today we are sharing the
first Linux results from this brand-new ATI graphics processor. Before
you think the Windows and Linux performance is equal for the Radeon HD
4800 series, this isn't the case, at least not yet.
