With AMD's support for GPUs under open-source? Their lack of support in the past...

AMD properly documents their GPU hardware now, and has for at least the last three years.

The real issue at hand is that the open source drivers are incredibly horrid. It's hard to write drivers, surprise!

they're catching up right now though, AMD is putting a significant amount of effort into the open source display stack.

AMD only released docs on the 2d side of things. 3D is still undocumented, AFAIK.

3D is now documented.
