Title: Open-Source RadeonHD Driver Delivers AMD 780 Support ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "The AMD 780 Series Chipsets have been available for nearly

four months now, and supporting the Radeon HD 3200 graphics since day

one has been AMD's proprietary Catalyst driver. On the open-source side,

there has been the Radeon HD 3200 / 780G support quite quickly through

the xf86-video-ati driver due to its use of AtomBIOS, but the support

within the RadeonHD driver hadn't arrived until earlier today. Thanks to

22 code commits made to the mainline xf86-video-radeonhd git tree, it's

now possible to use this newest AMD integrated graphics processor with

this Novell-spawned driver."
