New X servers (ATI Rage & SiS)

Posted by HeUnique on from the from-SuSe dept.

SuSE has released new X servers for the Rage based cards, as well as for SiS. It looks like it was too late to be included on the XFree86 V3.3.5, but its good to see SuSE doing lots of efforts to write those drivers for those chipsets.

    This (and other X drivers) is a great example of why Linux needs both commercial companies (SuSE, RedHat...maybe Caldera) and altruistic folks.

    There have been several X drivers in the past few years that we would have never gotten (or at least had to wait a long time for) if it weren't for the money-makers.

    That said, it's nice to see SuSE continue to release their stuff back to the community. They should be applauded for their efforts.
