AMD AMD will soon deliver open graphics drivers, said Henri Richard just a few minutes ago, and the audience at the opening keynote of the Red Hat Summit broke into applause and cheers. Richard, AMD's executive vice president of sales and marketing, promised: "I'm here to commit to you that it's going to get done." He also promised that AMD is "going to be very proactive in changing way we interface with the Linux community".

Maybe this is what is needed to start the ball rolling. Intel did the same, now AMD has plans for open sourcing graphics drivers. Hopefully Nvidia will follow. Great development indeed. Maybe we will even see ATI linux drivers that work as expected too. My only concern is that we have no time frame on when this will happen.
