This week marks the one year anniversary since AMD had announced its
open-source strategy and in two weeks will mark the anniversary of the
xf86-video-radeonhd code release that contained R500 and
R600 mode-setting support, but not much more. Celebrating this one year milestone was a celebration with Luc Verhaegen, Jerome Glisse, and Egbert Eich during
XDS 2008 at the
The Bad Ass pub in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Discussed at this four-person celebration was the current progress of the open-source ATI as well as DRM hacking for open-source CrossFire (though a laugh at this point), performance counters, the RadeonHD driver, and a whole lot more.
