AMD just promised to release chip specs and a minimal reference driver to the OSS community for all their products from R500 forward so that the community can create good drivers for them. Big kudos to to AMD for this move. This is huge, and I seriously had my doubts about it happening. The best part about this is that Nvidia is now the odd man out amongst the top three video chip producers with closed hardware and/or (fully functional) drivers. One hopes they will decide to join the party soon.
