I am a great AMD fan

After I heard this news, I think SuSe will power my desktop from nowon

It’s WONDERFUL! This partnership will make both side much more stronger!

There are 2 options that will make a great Linux experience using ATI graphics card and that will please open-source community:

1) AMD releases open source drivers (i think this is the best option)
2) AMD releases video cards specifications

Do it so AMD and the community will likely buy your graphic cards, instead NVIDIA or other graphic card.

And also probably because they realize that their drivers were sucking. And sometimes when there are too many problems with your software, it’s easier to rewrite them from scratch than to try to fix your code.

AMD has helped sponsor the progress of the openSUSE Build Service with leading-edge hardware…

AMD donated Intel progessors?

I agree with the above poster. It is all well and good to for AMD to sponsor Opensuse - In fact, it is bloody great!

…but as long as having an AMD graphics card means “a poor linux experience”, the greatness is somewhat lessened :/

Hmmm…
Tell them to contribute some more effectivelly to the community by giving out open source drivers for their graphics cards!!

Or make a modern proprietary driver at least! To support AIGLX finally! And HD 2000 Series…
