RadeonHD Driver Delivers AMD 780 Support

The AMD 780 Series Chipsets have been available for nearly four months now, and supporting the Radeon HD 3200 graphics since day one has been AMD’s proprietary Catalyst driver. On the open-source side, there has been the Radeon HD 3200 / 780G support quite quickly through the xf86-video-ati driver due to its use of AtomBIOS, but the support within the RadeonHD driver hadn’t arrived until earlier today. Thanks to 22 code commits made to the mainline xf86-video-radeonhd git tree, it’s now possible to use this newest AMD integrated graphics processor with this Novell-spawned driver.
