"Last week the first open-source ATI R500 (Radeon X1000 series)
driver had entered the world. This new driver (named the
xf86-video-avivo) is very early into development, but a small set of
developers have been working on reverse engineering this GPU class for
the past couple of months. This driver does not yet contain any 3D
functionality or support for features that most end-users expect. At
this point, the driver just contains very basic initialization and set
video mode support for a portion of the Radeon X1000 family. Even with
this very basic R500 driver, we couldn't help but to explore the Avivo
driver for the past few days."
