ATI's most secret Linux development tool revealed!

JimBeam · Oct 5, 2004, 05:58 PM

Some very talented hackers risked their lifes to present you the following screenshots of ATI's "master tool" for developing Linux drivers! Unbelievable! It seems that our nightmares will finally come true...

Code Generation:

PR stuff:

Shocking new roadmaps:

Note:
Please read this post in the humorous spririt in which it is intended

We have so many disappointed users here that I think that we all can use some bitter sweet sarcasm

Spitzfiya · Oct 5, 2004, 06:01 PM

Wow, who ever made that is an ass with to much spare time...

Instead of hating people/companies we just make jokes about them...Thats lame.

Thetargos · Oct 5, 2004, 06:43 PM

When seen in a humorous way, all I can say is ROFLMAO... The same GTK GUI template could be used for other companies drivers too... By the way the guy made it knows how to use glade real good... so I assume he/she spent at most 20-30 minutes designing it.

I can only smile...

Actually 20 minutes and I have never used glade before

It wasn't my intention to offend you. Quite the contrary - this is meant as a stultification of the most common rantings found on Rage3D.com

Peace! And thanks for fixing the R200-BB thing!

It wasn't any offence... I am actually fairly thick skinned and I appreciate the humour

The easy part is Glade, the hard part is all the call backs

Actually I was thinking of using Glade to give us an idea of what the actual program would look like and then just do it by hand, but with an image already in mind

But... But... ATI gives us so many reasons to make jokes like this.. Or are you trying to say that ATI has some great Linux drivers out? If so, care to give a link?

mapel110 · Oct 6, 2004, 05:38 PM

omg the shocking truth ....
good to have a nvidia card for linux.

lol, yer I wouldn't mind a link to these "better" drivers that we've heard rumours of.

spyke · Oct 10, 2004, 01:49 AM

Wow and here I thought they were busy.

emphy · Oct 10, 2004, 05:29 PM

I'll bet they used .net to develop that tool.

smthmlk · Oct 11, 2004, 03:16 PM

roflmao!!!!

so true!!!! hahahahaha This is the funniest thing ive seen in a week or so

. thanks for posting.

Seriously though, this is exactly how I feel ATI is working with regards to anything linux. It's a huge insult to every Radeon (8500<) owner. I don't understand why any of us stick with ATI after they spit water in our faces with every fglrx "release"......

Teh funnay am hear!!!

Kamel · Oct 28, 2004, 03:22 AM

lol, i suck so horribly at dialogs... for some reason i've never been good at it. hopefully with enough practice my skills will sharpen. anyway, to cut the chase, you have inspired me to make a replica of your excellent dialog; in mIRC scripting.

i've added a couple of extras :P

as you can tell, i'm not done yet, lol. i've considered removing the extra crap that i added, but that's still TBD.

anyway, i loved the instadriver dialog you made, hehe. i spent much longer on mine than i should have, about 2 hours so far =\. hopefully when i'm done i will have better skillz tho.

d4rk74m4 · Oct 28, 2004, 04:46 AM

Lol! Good stuff.. There *is* a spelling mistake however, in the "Spread FUD" button.

I should make one of these to practise GTK.. I haven't done anything really interesting in it yet.

Kamel · Oct 28, 2004, 10:44 AM

lmao, oops

tnx for pointing out that spelling mistake

i also noticed the entire group of miscellanous on the public relations tab is too low

dragondestroyer · Oct 28, 2004, 06:03 PM

Perhaps someone could get rid of the cancel button and make all of the check boxes permanent (shaded out)

coldpower27 · Feb 6, 2005, 10:20 PM

Hehe, this is some fun stuff.
