Linux version of Doom 3!!!!!!!!
« on: 4 September 2002, 17:17 »
Fragment of John Carmack's Q&A session on Quakecon 2002.   Woooohooooo!!!!  

Q - Will there be a Linux version of Doom III?

A - Yes! It will be a safe bet that you will be able to get Doom III for Linux with at least Nvidia video card support. I will consider helping any other credible open source driver effort for other video card support under Linux, but right now I can't say that I see anything beyond Nvidia support at the moment. ATI is going to release a Linux driver for the Radeon 9700, but I don't have any details on it yet or if it will work correctly with Doom III on Linux.

Did he just say that Ati was gonna deliver a Linux driver for the Radeon 9700?
