" A quick report from the kernel summit: AMD's representative at the
summit has announced that the company has made a decision to enable
the development of open source drivers for all of its (ATI) graphics
processors from the R500 going forward. There will be specifications
available and a skeleton driver as well; a free 2D driver is
anticipated by the end of the year. The rest will have to be written;
freeing of the existing binary-only driver is not in the cards, and
"that is better for everybody." Things are looking good on this front.
More in the kernel summit report to come. "
