“For months now Radeon/FireGL owners have been wondering whether
or not ATI Technologies/Advanced Micro Devices is actively working
on AIGLX support for their official drivers or whether they will
even support it with their binary fglrx drivers. It has now been
longer for ATI to add support for AIGLX than it took them for
official Radeon X1000 product support, which also received a great
deal of negative scrutiny for the belated product support. The lack
of AIGLX support has without a doubt caused many disgruntled Radeon
owners and thus some believing the fglrx driver is evil. For some
Linux desktop users the lack of AIGLX support is more severe than
the performance problems found within the drivers (see One Year
With ATI X1000 Linux Support). But the question remains, is ATI
working on this support…?”
