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."

    OK, it's sometimes seen as an overly pendantic point to make, but it has to be said: the project, nor the software it produces, is NEVER called "XFree". The "86" is part of the name -- it's like calling Linux "Linu" or Windows "Window".

    Just because it runs on more architectures than x86 thesedays, it doesn't mean parts of the name can be omitted.

    There was evidence to prove that Overly Critical Guy is a lying cocksucker, but he deleted it. Think independently.
