AMD Releases Register Specs For R5xx And R6xx

ianare writes "AMD has recently released register specifications for the ATI Radeon R5xx and R6xx graphic devices. This will (theoretically) allow the OSS community to develop drivers, given time. In fact, engineers from Novell have released a first alpha quality Open Source driver which currently supports initial mode settings. Although current work is focused on 2D, rather than 3D acceleration, this type of information sharing could conceivably lead to an OSS 3D driver."

glxGears needs to be updated!

He's exactly correct.

Isn't it written into the GL Spec that all OpenGL benchmarks must include some sort of tea kettle?

Zonk doesn't post dupes!
