AMD Releases 900+ Pages Of GPU Specs

Ending off the X Developer Summit this year, Matthew Tippett handed off ATI's GPU specifications to David Airlie on a CD (as reported by Daniel Stone). However, the specifications are also now available on the Internet! At http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/ is the location of the documentation where you can freely download the files. Right now there is the RV630 Register Reference Guide and M56 Register Reference Guide. The RV630 Reference Guide is 434 pages long while the M56 Guide is 460 pages. Expect more documentation (and 3D specifications) to arrive shortly. The new open-source R500/600 driver will be released early next week. More information to come soon. Tell us what you think. For more information, read our ATI/AMD's New Open-Source Strategy Explained article.

Excellent !! ATI has done so much to open source! I salute you!





Many times without the specific platform drivers installed, generic drivers are used. This would cause several things from Linux not knowing how to use your chipset (which doesn't seem to be your problem) or small proprietary things like the Fn keys to not work.



If documentation were available for hardware, then everyone can benefit, even for Windows as well, which people were mentioning problems with.



God damn proprietary things on Linux platform !

我怎么看到了一个开源偏执狂？

X开发者峰会（X Developer Summit）结束之际，AMD公司Matthew Tippett的向X.Org基金会开源驱动主要成员David Airlie赠送了一张CD，内含有大量ATI显卡详细资料。这些资料部分已经公布在X.Org网站（无法访问中），可免费下载。目前公开的文档包括了 RV630（434页）和M56（460页）寄存器参考指南（Register Reference Guide），预计更多的文档（如3D说明）将在不久之后放出。另一个好消息是新的R500/600开源驱动将于下周发布。


好开心,我的卡终于可以用上开源驱动了!顶啊!
