S3 Graphics Fails At Delivering Linux Driver

Posted by Soulskill on from the patience-is-not-infinite dept.

Ashmash writes "Phoronix is running a story about S3 Graphics failing to provide Linux support for their Chrome 500 products even though they have announced in press releases going back months that there is Linux support. S3 Graphics has gone as far as advertising OpenGL 3.0 support for Linux and one of their representatives had promised a driver by last December. This situation has been going on for months, but there is no Linux driver at all for the Chrome 500 series."

    As I recall, ATI opened the source and specifications for their drivers on September 10, 2007. How do you figure that ATI is still a closed standard?
