I would like to know whether it is normal that ATI releases proprietary

Of course that's normal. Simple matter of numbers.
They have *much* more Windows users, so they'll get much more feedback and
bug reports.

the acceleration is really aweful in linux and why these drivers make the
backlight flashing twice at the launch of the X window?
this shortens the lifespan.
Huh?
Worries about acceleration, I can understand.
But having a flash at the start of X. Why would you care about that, unless
you're starting and stopping X all the time?
