AMD Releases 900+ Pages Of GPU Specs

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the out-in-the-open dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ending off the X Developer Summit this year, Matthew Tippett handed off ATI's GPU specifications to David Airlie on a CD. However, the specifications are also now available on the X.org site. Right now there is the RV630 Register Reference Guide and M56 Register Reference Guide. Expect more documentation (and 3D specifications) to arrive shortly. The new open-source R500/600 driver will be released early next week."

    That sounds more like a problem with Linux than with closed-source drivers.

    "And yet, Nvidia has deprecated its drivers. "

    You can still download older drivers. And the newer drivers still support chips that predate your GF4.

    "When new kernels can no longer load the old module, I'll have to decide between resigning myself to that kernel version forever on this system or forking out a comparatively huge amount of cash."

    Care to give an example of this happening? Whatever you may think of Nvidia, they've been good to Linux before it was even cool to do so. You all should be grateful instead of pissing in their Cheerios.

    Really? Because Vista works magically with any old hardware you throw at it, right? Or maybe because linux is known for using closed source stuff as a crutch?

    Put more effort into your trolling, I demand at least a modicum of entertainment from my Anon Coward trolls.
