Anyhow, since logging in and commenting is a 50/50 proposition, I’ll go with anonymous.
On topic, the AMD drivers will have to be fleshed out over time. Everyone in the market is gunshy about ATI’s garbage drivers and joke windows programmers. Unless I see their heads on a platter and their family’s lined up against a wall, I’m not going to consider an ATI card. In the beginning, there were one or two engineers that wanted to do Linux/Open drivers right. But management at ALL levels said NO. So FK them and FK you too. AMD, burn them all, and save the engineer with a clue.
