Avivo R500 Driver Changes

Yesterday we told you that the Avivo 0.1 driver will be out shortly, and in the past 24 hours now we have seen a number of commits to the Avivo git. There have been eight commits in the past day that range from adding a number of new PCI IDs, removing the FB manager, cleaning up the initialization code, and properly using the Avivo scaler. In total there are now 68 ATI Radeon X100 "R500" GPUs supported. Last month we posted an article on the open-source ATI R500 driver. You can discuss this driver in the Phoronix Forums.
