Intel takes care of the rest since Core2Duo.
The only things that I am really wanting the OSS drivers to advance on is OpenCL support, power management, and better Wine compatibility for games (Assuming that Wine isn't breaking the specs, which it probably does given that it was written solely against Nvidia's drivers originally) in that order.

At the end of the day, AMD seems to have the worst of both worlds. They don't have to OSS engagement of intel, to allow them to ditch Catalyst for Linux entirely. And they don't have the solid blobs of nvidia, to allow them to ditch the open source driver. Just like nazi Germany, they're now fighting on two fronts and loosing on both
NB: I do not think AMD are nazi, I have a lot of respect for them. But I am saddened that for many years now, I haven't found a single product to buy from them.

is hard to understand the actions taken by amd... I mean... launch a product that you cannot use, is the worst way that you can follow. Actually, the linux support is the worst that you can find in all and this is not an exception. Dont forget that they couldn't make work the X2 3870 in linux so I guess that's is the point why amd does not release x2 cards anymore...
I was wondering what will be the nvidia reponse... as I can see, a very serious enterprise.

My understanding was that the 8.291 link I posted here (to a KB page on amd.com) included 77xx support. I haven't checked the IDs but if anyone sees a problem please post back here.

I almost can hear them in Catalyst linux team:
"Mother of cards! Where did this one come from?
Better get our driver shit together and start some
typin'n'shit. Wish guys from ingenoioueering told
us sooner 'bout this mud-a-fakhur. Tee-hee "

Well, it's a completely new architecture with a new code base (in theory, it could end up with less bugs than the 2xxx-6xxx generation).
Catalyst 12.2 is released next monday and Catalyst 12.3 is also not far away - coming March, 21st.

Based up their real actions, it is pretty simple:
They DONT want YOU TO BUY THEIR cards.
what a shame

A firm with close to a 10000 employees...
Has a open source vision and official comittment.
Yet struggles to provide a working linux driver.
So close.
