I noticed that AMD are releasing the sources for many of the drivers for their chips (read more here ).. It seems to me this would enable some hard-working MorphOS developer to port some drivers for newer graphics borads, is this correct?

Just thought I'd post the link if someone is interested in giving it a go :)

interesting but what would be the benefit of having drivers for cards that you can't plug in a Pegasos or Efika ?

Hi,
I read about that too. But AMD said that you can use the Linux drivers for new cards x2k series with older ones...
Keep the Faith !

Read this too :
Daniel Stone is announcing the avalability of the first AMD/ATI specs - chips RV630 and M56 apparently. The specifications are released without an NDA.
