While if you're a loyal Phoronix reader you should already know most of the information discussed in this interview, Beyond3D recently chatted with AMD's John Bridgman about the RadeonHD driver and their new open-source position. The interview talks about why AMD is suddenly interested in open-source support, why the fglrx driver will not be opened up, how the two drivers will coexist with one another, no UVD programming information will be released, and more. For more information on the current status of the RadeonHD driver be sure to check out our graphics articles, RadeonHD news posts, and the Phoronix Forums, where John Bridgman and other open-source X developers are active members. Logs of the RadeonHD IRC channel are also available from RadeonHD.org.
