Dissecting The ATI/AMD Linux Driver

We also have some numbers to report on firegl_public. Firegl_public is the open-source portion of the fglrx driver that acts as the shim between the Linux kernel and the fglrx binary driver. It is in the firegl_public code where support for newer versions of the Linux kernel is generally added. As can be seen from the file size of the main firegl_public C file, since the 8.34.8 driver there has been a fair amount of work going on for newer kernels.
