ATI Committed To Fixing Its OSS Problems

Posted by kdawson on from the about-time dept.

Sits writes "Chris Blizzard blogged from the Red Hat summit that an ATI marketing spokesman said, from the stage, that ATI knows it has a problem with open source and is committed to fixing it. Does this mean ATI will finally resolve alleged agpgart misappropriation, and fast track the release of open source 2D drivers on its latest cards while releasing specifications for its mid-range cards? Or is ATI only concerned with fixes to its binary driver to maintain feature parity with competitors?"

    There goes the good old problem solving by marketing. Wait until their developers hear about this :)

    In some areas, the closed linux binary driver maintains feature parity with the Windows counterpart.

    A friend of mine recently had his dog "fixed". What, exactly, does ATI intend?
