I think that it's PERFECTLY appropriate to subscribe to LKML and ask |
| 19 |
them about it. They are always interested in supporting new hardware. |

Often they are already working on it and can give you a schedule or |
| 21 |
tell you what kernel to build to get it working. |

My only point was they don't like the ati-drivers, not that they don't |
| 24 |
want to support machines if possible. |

Of course, ATI has to release specs for the Radeon driver to support |
| 27 |
it completely. I think they do that but somewhat slowly. |

Just my 2 cents, |
