Hello everyone, this is my first post here, so I feel I should share something about myself, I'm from Spain and 27; I've been using GNU/Linux since a long time ago (I still see myself trying to deal with a Suse 6.2 and a 2.2 kernel... heh), but only coming and going not having it as the main OS, so I'm no pro at using it I know enough for the "everyday" usage.
Anyway, I'm doing a research about the kind of drivers currently available for ATI cards under GNU/Linux, and I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong.
Ati being the first opensource driver created through reverse engineering, with support limited to 2D acceleration.
RadeonHD being the newest driver, created from scratch based on the documentation released by AMD since last year.
Fglrx being the closed source binary driver published by AMD with full suport for both 2D and 3D acceleration.
If anyone wants to add more info, they're welcome.
Thanks in advance .
