Yes, I did see the reference. I don't blame ATI though. After all, they
have to first appease their largest user base. Unfortunately, that
means that Linux users are put on hold for an indefinite period of
time. Once that project is consummated, the development or porting of
drivers to other platforms commences. It would be nice if some
patronage were shown to FreeBSD earlier in the cycle though. I cannot
help but wonder if this will turn into a nVidia-64 debacle; i.e.,
waiting years for a serviceable solution.

That money talks,
I'll not deny,
I heard it once,
It said "Good-bye.
