What there are, of course, are the Apple/*BSD drivers that ATI must provide if
Apple is going to use their hardware. Simplest way for ATI to handle this is
to just contribute to the OS BSD drivers and make sure they pass Apple's
muster.
While Apple continues to release closed, OS unfriendly,
lawsuit-as-a-business-model software, their choice of a BSD OS as the basis
for their system has had some positive consequences from those of running
actually Open systems.
