“”In the next step towards open-source 3D support for the R500 and R600 GPUs (Radeon X1000 and Radeon HD 2000/3000), AMD has just pushed its production microcode into the Mesa/DRM git tree.

Open wide and say ‘fglrx’
AMD is really moving along in their efforts to make their graphics cards and source code open source. As Phoronix reports, Radeon R100 to R600 microcode has been released. It is nice to see a company opening up as much as AMD has, and it signifies great things for the Linux community.
