We can't GPL the ATI Radeon core driver, but 90% of the stuff around it is now GPL as well as all the 3D code we are working on at present. Considering that the 2D driver modules are very solid and have a well documented API, it is unlikely that you would need to modify any of the code inside the ATI Radeon 2D driver module anyway. As I said, the DDK is now done. Take a look at it and the SDK see what you think. You may like it, or you may not ;-) Regards, --- Kendall Bennett Chief Executive Officer SciTech Software, Inc.
