How To Get Better ATI Linux Support
linportal,
Going directly to ATI's website and complain will do absolutely no good for the progress of these drivers; it won't result in any of these improvements coming about unless the OEM/ODM/AIBs take action. Trust me.
A few posts above I also link to Alan Coopersmith's blog of Sun where he too reiterates that this is the route to take.
As I pointed out in the post: "I know for certain that at least one major OEM would like to see improved Linux support but is afraid that the Windows support would then be at risk."
I am not "defending" ATI in false terms. I am pointing out my beliefs on where ATI/AMD has done well with the drivers and where they have room for improvement (mainly their performance and AIGLX support). I have made it known that in the past their drivers have been obliterated by the competition and that they are actively working on improving them as well as their appearance in the Linux community.
The comments section is being completely redone with PHXCMS (the content management system that powers this blog).
