(sorry. I re-sent this email because I didn't realise that the previous
one would reference to another thread.)


I am very curious about this page:
http://www.xgitech.com/about/about_press1.asp?CTID={C3FD7D03-6BE1-4BB9-9F34-1221E723B87F}

XGI is claiming that they released the source code for their cards. If
they are not being misleading in their statements I think I found the
video card I am going to buy next. 

I would love to replace my Nvidia card with something that actually used
free drivers...

But I am not very trustworthy of any company until I hear more about it.
So does anybody have any news on this?

They said in the page to search the bug reports page for more
information so I looked for 'XGI' and I came up with this:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1905
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2761

This is a bit exciting if it's true..
