ATI To Support XFree86 4.3 Soon

Posted by timothy on from the 4.3-is-a-rocker dept.

uninet writes "With ATI's recent offering of its first proprietary GNU/Linux drivers, we were interested to see if a follow-up driver was in store to provide compatibility with XFree86 4.3, which was released earlier this year. To find out what ATI was planning, we contact the Ontario-based company and had a conversation with their Manager of Developer Relations, Michael Smith."

    Err.. how can NVidia lead in free software support when their driver is completely closed and proprietary?
