ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported?

SuperBug writes "After viewing the previous story on Slashdot about the Radeon 9800 vs GF FX 5900, I checked out ATI's web-site which seems to have been re-designed relatively recently. It seems strikingly similar to nVidia's site regarding the driver selections. I thought "great, ths should be much better to find my drivers now. At least a little simpler." To my surprise. I found this message for Linux Graphics Drivers "Not Supported". Thinking this had to be a mistake, I took a look at the "Discontinued Products" list under the customer care link and lo and behold. Just about every recent card is there. I just wanna know, what gives?"

Maybe you should ask ATI?

The ATI Driver's Page includes an option for linux. Select "Graphics Drivers" in the first tab and "Linux" should appear in the second. Not for all products though.

Yeah, they couldn't have ATI seeing exactly how they cheat on 3Dmark.
