AMD reported a loss of $128 million (-18c EPS) in the third-quarter and a top-line decrease from $1.8 billion q3 last year to $1.4 billion this year. I hope they will be able to keep funding the free radeon xorg driver in the future.. things seem to be going in the right direction, but they've still got a long way to go before we start seeing black numbers on the bottom line.

I think you overestimate the influence of ATi linux customers on AMD/ATis profits. I think ATi is probably the only part of AMD that's still making profits anyway, and this should continue with their excellent new 5xxx series.
I think the reason that AMD loses money is that they try to stay competitive with Intel on a price/performance level on their cpus.
