AMD "DAL" Being Renamed To "DC"

[Azpegath]

I love it. AMD published patches early on, patches they knew would never be accepted. They then listened to the comments and feedback, and improved their code accordingly. The way the community recommends FOSS to work. Publish early, re-iterate. I'm in awe.

All I care is where I can get a PKGBUILD or tar.xz until it's mainlined (I'm running DAL... I mean DC 4.7 right now with pretty decent success, occasional temporary freeze may even be kernel unrelated)

I read the whole article despite the shortened bit on the home page coving all i needed to know in hopes it would say what DC stands for in this case . My guess is display code but don't know lol.

C is abstraction layer It is also third letter in alphabet, basically DAL 3 written differently

It is not the open sourcing of the pre-existing fglrx code

but he didn't say that. he said it has been used for long time by proprietary drivers and that is true for some definition of "long"

When nobody seems to like something, just change its name. Do someone remember "Palladium"?

It made as much sense and was almost as bad as the Superman standalone movie.

I'll take Man of Steel 7 days a week over B vs. S. That was garbage except for Wonder Woman.

It could be C-Core, C-Channel for all I care.
