The only thing this article should make us all understand is what a piece of shit fglrx is. But still, thanks amd for understanding your incapacity in delivering a linux driver that "forced" you to release your hardware specs (if you didn't do it, all linux users would slowly go towards nvidia or intel, and you know this).
And don't believe to the bullshit about Linux and its 1% market. It's not a percentage problem, the problem is if I speak bad about ati, then you speak bad about it -> a lot of people will start talking bad about ati. The final consequence is: ati is a bad company, and this is exactly what happened with Windows Vista. 10 people talked bad about vista, after that everyone talked bad about it, even people that never tried it. This forced microsoft to do a new os in record time even though Vista is infinite times more stable and believe it or not, statisticaly more secure than Windows XP.
Don't believe to bullshit people, but still be happy that amd released specs so next year amd cards in theory will rock on linux.
So what is my point? Very simple. Be grateful to amd, but be more grateful to nvidia, because they are the only ones delivering a more or less stable and full-featured driver for linux since 2001. We must not forget this. It was year 2004 and the only 3d working card on Linux was nvidia, I will never forget this.
