AMD 8.42 Linux Driver Brings Fixes, Aiglx

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 23rd Oct 2007 20:39 UTC, submitted by pixelnate

~~Ati~~ AMD has released a new version of its graphics drivers that fix some long overdue bugs. "Today it's now time where the fglrx driver reaches yet another milestone. Not only does today's release address many of the outstanding bugs for the earlier GPU generations while also introducing a few new features, but it also delivers AIGLX support! Yes, you read that right. You can finally run your ATI graphics card with the fglrx driver and run Compiz, Beryl, or Compiz Fusion without using XGL!"

Linux users ditch non-free operating systems to use free operating systems with tainted kernels.

Talk about being a hypocrite.. hahaha!

Some people use it for other reasons like:
- Cost
- Stability
- Modularity
- Ease of administration
- Community

Not everyone is a Nazi...

If I could demote your post to -200, I'd do it.
Not because you're wrong (in the reasons for using OSS), but due to your needless use of the term Nazi.
Calling someone a Nazi has no business here. Period.

Either you have no idea what you are talking about (read: you haven't taken the time to learn 20'th century history) or you are plain careless. (... And I'm being very polite)

Please edit your post and remove the offending part.
