As part of opening up the ATI drivers, AMD consulted with leading members of the open-source community and the X.Org community to ensure that the driver addressed the needs of both open-source developers and Linux users. AMD hopes that the release of these specifications will allow the development community to partner with AMD to drive new innovations for the Linux desktop. AMD will provide on-going support for this project with an in-house development team.
