AMD Releases Open-Source Radeon HD 7000 Driver

Posted by Soulskill on from the still-waiting-on-the-open-source-sand-wedge dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AMD has publicly released the open-source code to the Radeon HD 7000 series 'Southern Islands' graphics cards for Linux users. This allows users of AMD's latest-generation of Radeon graphics cards to use the open-source Linux driver rather than Catalyst, plus there's also early support for AMD's next-generation Fusion APUs."
