- I sent a reply to ATI support to the message forwarded from them. I'll
- post any interesting replies here.
-
- One point in ATI's letter is interesting -- that IBM hasn't released
- the development kit yet. Last I heard, the problem (for 16-bit seamless
- drivers at least) was that IBM's sample code was modified from
- Microsloth drivers, and the MS lawyers wouldn't let IBM distribute it.
- Why doesn't IBM just release the 'diffs' for the samples then, and let
- those who already have the sample driver code apply the diffs themselves?
- (I believe sample was a modified Windows display driver, so the original
- should be in the Windows DDK)
-
-
- So how about it, IBM?
