Name The Next ATI Driver Contest (2007)

[Moustacha]

Like in WW1, "The war will be over by christmas!"...4 years later. The fglrx drivers are in much the same condition "We'll support R600/AIGLX by christmas!"...4 years later.

Unfortunately for AMD, they bought a company that has consistently let us down.

What you are seeing Michael, is the rage and frustration, being vented, from all of this and more. It's not that we don't believe that something's coming- it's that we've been told this repeatedly by the ATI people in the past. And, until they honestly deliver something other than just empty promises, I don't think we're going to take them much more seriously than they took us in the past.

A very good, ACCURATE summary.

Nope, hehe. Some negatives and positives in here.

8.41: The day has finally come. AIGLX included.

8.41: We at ATI think AIGLX is evil.

8.41: We got everything you need, including overheating your card.

8.41: AIGLX included, as well as a bug that removes the whole /usr directory. Sorry.

8.41: We're running out of names. Straight to the point, it sucks.

8.41: ATI Catalysts: Open Source Edition.

8.41: Total burnout edition.

8.41: Monkey engineer edition.

8.41: 8.41 translated means nothing. Which means this driver offers nothing.

8.41: The complete turn around edition.

8.41: AIGLX on a bun.

I can make these all day haha.

With Michael taunting us like this, I have to wonder... Is 8.41 the first version number for the new codebase drivers or the last of the old ones?

With that in mind....

8.41 - Hell Just Froze Over Edition...
