ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? | |

SuperBug writes "After viewing the previous story on Slashdot about the Radeon 9800 vs GF FX 5900, I checked out ATI's web-site which seems to have been re-designed relatively recently. It seems strikingly similar to nVidia's site regarding the driver selections. I thought "great, ths should be much better to find my drivers now. At least a little simpler." To my surprise. I found this message for Linux Graphics Drivers "Not Supported". Thinking this had to be a mistake, I took a look at the "Discontinued Products" list under the customer care link and lo and behold. Just about every recent card is there. I just wanna know, what gives?" | ||

What gives? Um, no one is using Linux and it costs ATI too much money to support drivers for all of a couple dozen people who download it.
ATI supported it in the first place: a.) Hoping to cash in on the sexy Linux publicity b.) Counting on a huge explosion of Linux installations which has never happened and never will. |

" Um, no one is using Linux and it costs ATI too much money to support drivers for all of a couple dozen people who download it. " I guess that would mean Nvidia is silly for wasting too much money to support drivers for a couple of dozen people who download them.

linuxhippie:
did you notice this: "Posted: November 29, 2002 Released/Not Supported" and did you notice the latest stable version of XFree 4.3.0 is not supported by these drivers? My Nvidia cards on the other hand work great under linux and get updated drivers all the time. I'm really glad they are wasting their money daz ;) This post was edited by tgnb on Thursday, July 10, 2003 at 15:11. |
