ATI Releases Drivers for XFree 4.3.0

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the better-late-than-never dept.

Kyouryuu writes "ATI has finally released official drivers for XFree 4.3.0 and updated their Linux drivers to 3.7.0 for supported XFree versions, several months after the originally proposed release date of April last year. Although Schneider Digital has previously made available unofficial drivers, Linux users who have ATI Radeon cards can now benefit from an official release. Unfortunately, ATI still insists on using RPM exclusively and keeping the drivers closed source."

    a resource intensive pig with a poor UI, bad cli, and missing key parts of the unix system.

    Many more people say the same thing about the current Linux desktop.
