AMD will soon deliver open graphics drivers, said Henri Richard just a few minutes ago, and the audience at the opening keynote of the Red Hat Summit broke into applause and cheers. Richard, AMD’s executive vice president of sales and marketing, promised: “I’m here to commit to you that it’s going to get done.” He also promised that AMD is “going to be very proactive in changing way we interface with the Linux {community.”(link (http://enterpriselinuxlog.blogs.techtarget.com/2007/05/09/amd-will-deliver-open-graphics-drivers/))

Maybe now ATi's historically bad drivers (on multiple platforms btw, not just Linux) won't be as bad.

According to an interview at Extreme Tech in March (link (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2103633,00.asp)) all the drivers have been rewritten from the ground up with the Vista ones being released first. From what I've been reading in the tech section, the Vista drivers are pretty solid.

I believe the proper word would be "hysterically"

Anyway, this is pretty cool.
