"Not only is AMD providing the open-source community with their ATI GPU specifications, but they have also been partnering with Novell on the development of a new open-source display driver. We've been telling you about AMD's open-source work all month, and today the new driver is finally available for download. It is still very much a work in progress and isn't much further along than the open-source R500 Avivo driver. However, this new driver does support the Radeon HD 2000 (R600) family. This new X.Org driver is called RadeonHD."

I'm happy to see AMD doing this. It's a boost for both the Open Source world and AMD/ATI.
Next time I'm in the market for a new video card I will definitely looking at ATI cards.
