I would imagine its an OpenGL ES compatible driver for Radeon 9000 series cards, that was originally developed for AmigaOS4.


And a company would *pay* for an AmigaOS driver for a non-Amiga OS for what reason?

Maybe they *paid* for a *portable* OpenGL implimentation with Radeon drivers.


And the xorg driver is unsuitable because?

Why are you so desperate to find something wrong or stupid with this?


I'm not.  You should visit the local site a bit less.

I want to know what it is that they have sold.  PR speak is not exactly reknowned for details.

mdma, what is your problem? You're acting like "Interesting" at a Genesi announcement.


By asking questions about a dodgy press release from a company who operating system I use nearly every day of the week?

How is it any more "dodgy" than the thousands of other press releases made that day?


It isn't.  All press releases are dodgy.  I am still in the dark about what they have actually sold.

It comes across that either you get your jollies from pissing off a certain section of people, or you have some odd need to find something negative in anything related to the aforementioned group of people.


How is wanting to know what exactly I'm supposed to be excited about, regarding something that financially affects a company I have invested money into, considered negativity?

You have issues it seems.

Perhaps you just think you're incredibly clever for thinking up the LoG joke.


I don't think it, I am.  Salary and IQ to prove it! :-P
