ATI Releases AIGLX Linux Driver

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday October 23, 2007 @08:13AM from the making-compiz-sing-and-dance dept.

Michael writes "A month after AMD released a Radeon HD 2000 'R600' Linux driver based on their new Linux driver codebase, they have now released another driver that provides AIGLX support used for Compiz and Compiz Fusion. In addition to this long-awaited AIGLX support, this driver also addresses issues with previous Radeon product families, performance improvements, AGP fixes, and added features to their graphical control panel. Phoronix has a review of the 8.42 Linux driver with all of the details about this much-anticipated release."

Maybe the solution for the bleeding edge problem is to have STABLE Linux kernel APIs for graphics cards. You know, just like how the rest of the world works.

Fuck you. Move to a different OS and try to ruin that with your retarded suggestions instead. Alternatively fork the kernel and implement what you're asking for. The best bit is that if you're unable to do that, you are automatically unqualified to tell the kernel devs that they should be doing it.
