Never heard any such thing.
Dropping support for an important interface such as OpenGL is suicide for any manufacturer of graphics accelerators.Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.

Where did you hear this rumor? I can't find any press releases about it. In fact, I'm finding press releases that say quite the opposite:
Latest ATI Linux Video Driver Introduces Full OpenGL 3.0 Support - Also includes support for Ubuntu 8.10, Hybrid CrossFire and Multiview - Softpedia
If ATI planned to drop OpenGL entirely, why spend so much time and effort bringing support for OpenGL 3.0 to Linux?Registered Linux user #270181

OpenGL is the basis of all non windows (and some windows) game graphics, ATI would be the one to hurt if they stopped supporting opengl.
