Phoronix: RadeonHD Now Uses AtomBIOS More
While AtomBIOS, AMD's library for providing effective firmware processes from the BIOS (that we originally detailed in this article), has been present in the RadeonHD driver's tree for a few weeks, it's now starting to be used more. Changes to the open-source R500/600 driver this morning now use AtomBIOS for obtaining clock limit data for calculating pixel clocks and LVDS parameters for panels.
