AMD/ATI opening up - no NDAs needed to see GPU specs
Posted on September 10th, 2007 by
ATI (now AMD) has never really been friends with Linux and the open source community. And that has hurt their sales and meant that very few people use AMD graphics cards with MythTV. But that could change now.
AMD last week revealed their open source strategy and today announced that developers will not have to sign an NDA in order to gain access to the specifications for the AMD GPUs.
It will probably take some time before the first open source drivers become available in a stable release, but it will eventually mean another option for MythTV builders and that is very welcome.
