LINUXGAMES

eh wrote the folks at Aureal to determine the status of Linux drivers for their Vortex 3D sound card chipsets. They responded with:

4Front Technologies are working on drivers for the Vortex 1 and 2 chipsetsunder Linux through their OpenSound package. We are also working with othergroups on supplying more open-source Linux drivers, which we hopefully willmore formally announce[sic] soon.

There are no definite plans or release dates scheduled for these drivers,however, and there are no guarantees.

4Front Technologies’ Vortex README gives a target date of sometime during summer of this year for stable Vortex 1 chipset drivers, and no ETA at all for the Vortex 2 :/.
