There was a commit by one of the radeonhd developers that was made months after any activity which was humourous.

here for me, I figured it was common knowledge now that Novell's radeonhd driver was deprecated.. articles at phoronix and mailing lists have indicated so for quite some time.
It started out as a cooperation between Novell and AMD to add support for the R500 series GPU's which were quite different. AMD also released NDA-free GPU documentation and information about AtomBIOS to the public which allowed the radeon developers to add support to their driver.

The radeonhd driver became pointless. AMD now has paid developers working on the radeon driver, and nobody has committed to the radeonhd driver since 2010.
