pode ser um dia memorável para o FLOSS, tudo pq a AMD/ATI decidiu abrir as especificações para os drivers dos seus chips gráficos a partir do R500!

Artigo original

A quick report from the kernel summit: AMD's representative at the summit has announced that the company has made a decision to enable the development of open source drivers for all of its (ATI) graphics processors from the R500 going forward. There will be specifications available and a skeleton driver as well; a free 2D driver is anticipated by the end of the year. The rest will have to be written; freeing of the existing binary-only driver is not in the cards, and "that is better for everybody." Things are looking good on this front. More in the kernel summit report to come.
