Can someone explain the deal with ATI and linux? I haven't quite understood why nvidia is having a nice time with linux while ATI still has horrible support. I've just bought a new rig with a 3870X2 and found it is completly unsupported (even running one 3870 isn't possible) with linux.
Its a bit of a pain because i was hoping the extra memory would help with photo and video work. Does ATI just produce drivers for paid versions of linux (red hat etc) or do they not have any drivers at all? I was just wondering since i heard ATI support under linux got better. Tempted in picking up a 8600GT just to boost my linux work.
