ATi Interview:

The crew at Hardware Fanatics has posted an interesting interview with ATi’s Senior Product Manager, Terry Makedon. There is actually a lot of good info in the interview, here is a bit on Linux driver support:

How much time is your team spending on driver development for your Linux drivers these days?

It’s not a matter of time, but rather a matter of how many people. Our plan is to have a team that is proportional to the size of each market. So, hypothetically speaking, if the whole PC market is 90% Windows, 5% Linux and 5% Mac, our development teams are structured to roughly reflect those proportions.
