AMD Chip guru AMD has announced that it's going to drop the ATI brand name following its takeover of the Canadian graphics underdog. Gareth Cater from AMD told Custom PC that 'the new company will be called AMD', meaning that we could shortly be seeing AMD-branded Radeon graphics chips.

Butters, the nVidia might be working great (Where the secret is the wrapper approach) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Windy - but there's no support of any other platforms. nVidia refuse to release even 2D specs under NDA, which means that reverse engineering is the only way to get any support of nVidia graphics processors. THAT SUCKS!

Works great on Solaris for me too. Working well on OSX also. WHAT other platforms? Amiga? Yikes.

I would say BeOS lacks 2D/3D support for obvious reasons, but Zeta has working 2D accelerated nVidia drivers. I'm not sure about 3D as I've not tested it.
