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."

Nobody's locked out of anything, the source is there and you are welcome to fix it.

It used to be that people complained about lack of specs useful for writing drivers. Now people complain about the vendor not writing the actual driver! Kids these days...
