Correct, Despite my occasional frustration with them, Intel is very
supportive.  They are providing docs and code (linux code) and I have a
decent relationship with the Intel graphics devs.

ATI/AMD has also become much more friendly and r500 and below should
work fairly well.  r600+ is still under development.

Interestingly enough, VIA just released docs on some of their chips as
well.  I have it on my list to work on, but I don't yet have hardware to
work with.
