Nothing related with "Linux". The problem is (as usual) related with ATI itself and the chip specs/docs and "proprietary/protected" crap. And tons of lines of code to put together. As a final result WE (stupid users/consumers including myself wich still owns AIW) are the final victims of the whole consumer model. They win the game before even the start. As usual.
