Hi,
I have just read about the initial 3D support for RS690 at http://airlied.livejournal.com/56192.html
so now I am a bit confused. I though the open source drivers were developed by Novell (you).
Is Airlied's work a fork of your work or is this (your) work something different?
What do you expect me to say here? The R5xx and R6xx support in radeon is purely a private project of two people, redhat's Dave Airlie and ATIs Alex Deucher. This started in november, and copied a lot of radeonhd code. None of this happened in an amicable fashion, and there is no cooperation. What label you want to stick to this is up to you. What i can tell you is that AMD and SUSE are continuing their close cooperating on the radeonhd driver, on providing providing support for new hardware and on further features and functionality. We are providing the best technical solution, for a driver that will be solid and long lasting, requiring a minimal maintainance burden in the long term. We do not cut corners to be able to make big claims. Luc Verhaegen.
