[Wine] Re: ATI (rv350) + open-source driver + wine gaming issues

[anyone]

For clarification AMD's open source strategy: AMD is not open-sourcing its fglrx driver, because (just like jorl17 pointed out) it has too much third party code. But AMD has hired Novell to write the radeonhd driver, which is an open source driver for the r500 series and newer. They have also released lots of documentation on the r500 and r600 series, and will release more when it has been cleared of third party IP. These documents help the development of both radeonhd and radeon driver (which is for chipsets r500/r600 (don't remember which) and older). 
This is everything I remember on the topic, I hope I got it right.
For people interested, here are the newest news on the documentation releases:

Both drivers have a long way to go, though.
