ATI driver call from the FSFATI driver call from the FSFPosted May 16, 2006 4:42 UTC (Tue) by dwheeler (guest, #1216)In reply to: GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge) by pheldens Parent article: GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge) The FSF's High Priority Free Software Projects list includes, as one of their top priority items, a 3D driver for ATI graphics cards (was here, moved to Freedesktop.org). I suspect they started with ATI because there were at least FLOSS drivers to start with. If good 3D ATI drivers get developed, that could be a wedge to get others to join... e.g., then NV either joins the party, or everyone stops buying their cards (since others wil be more supportable). I would love to see OSDL, Ubuntu, or other organiations work to help flesh out the ATI cards, PRONTO. If anyone can lend time to the ATI driver project, please do so.

ATI driver call from the FSF Posted May 16, 2006 10:53 UTC (Tue) by tajyrink (subscriber, #2750) [Link] There's also a new try for 3D NVIDIA drivers at: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/
Mostly just planning, but anyway it's good that there's 3D life after Utah-GLX for NVIDIA cards, too.
