I agree that if ATI and AMD were merging tomorrow someone might care but this is far from a done deal. Stockholders must approve it, the US government has to approve it and the Canadians get to look it over too.

To all the doomsdayers out there: AMD is not going to stop Linux drivers in any way shape or form. They have no reason to. In fact given that they are the underdog (and the fact that they’re attempting to buy another underdog) they need all the markets they can lay their hands on, niche or otherwise.

I can’t wait to see what the children will look like.

Let’s see… Apple/Intel/nVidia vs Via/S3 vs ATI/AMD …

What about Sun Sparc/Solaris, Gensi PPC/MorphOS, or even Matrox? Matrox dropped off the mkfsck drive image, so…

About binary drivers, how hard is it to make ‘emerge nvidia-kernel’ ?? And that is only on kernel updates, which doesn’t happen every day…

ATI/AMD will not open the specs, and they will not drop linux driver development because of the firegl linux workstations. There might be more development or less development but it won’t stop. I doubt ATI spent all that much on linux driver development anyway.

ATI is probably planning on competing with centrino or moving into physics processing or moving into distributed central processing over graphics processors. They may have plans for the consumer products market like cell phones. There is really no telling.
