Title: AMD Releases Open-Source R600/700 3D Code ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Since earlier this year we have been waiting for AMD to

release documentation and/or code on the ATI R600 series concerning 3D

acceleration so that the open-source Linux drivers can begin to support

the newer ATI graphics processors. It has taken longer than expected for

AMD to complete and release this information, but it's now available.

AMD has released the fundamental Linux code needed to begin fostering

the development of an open-source R600 3D driver. Furthermore, this code

also concerns the latest R700 series of graphics processors! The

microcode for the newest GPUs has also been released."
