RadeonHD - A Call for Beta Testers

Posted by Hans de Ruiter

The driver has progressed to the stage at which it is ready for testing by a wider group of users. Amiga OS 4.x beta testers have already had access to an early beta. However, very few people have RadeonHD graphics cards, and more testers are needed. To that end, I am accepting applications to beta test the RadeonHD.chip driver.

Some may wonder why a public beta is not being released. The simple truth is that a public beta will be greeted with an expectation that it should just work. Given that it has only been tested with a few cards so far, these expectations are wholly unrealistic. By requiring people to apply, those testing are conscious of the fact that the software being tested is a work in progress. A public beta may be released later, when the driver s more mature.

People who have the right hardware and are interested in beta testing the driver, can register their interest here.
