Announcing free software graphics drivers for Intel i965 chipset

Then:
AMD is strongly considering open-sourcing at least a functional subset of ATI’s graphics drivers. It’s time for X Window System, OpenGL, and client virtualization for which ATI binary drivers aren’t available to escape the ghetto of the 1980s-era framebuffer. And what a boon for PR. If AMD’s graphics cards were the only ones with open device drivers, it might affect a buying decision or two. http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/08/02/32OPcurve_1.html

mee too , ati sells alot of video cards but they could use some work vith their drivers and their hardware. i guess amd and intel are going on a "shopping spree".
