Even before ATI was acquired by AMD they had driver support problems. When I was working for a Unix commercial graphics software company, the CTO told me how bad the information he received under ATI’s NDA was: different revisions of the same chipset had contradictory register settings, so the driver had to identify the revision before writing a value to the write-only configuration registers. The same chipset might need a 0 or a 1; writing the wrong values could crash the driver. |
