| | I dumped my ATI card (9600) for a NVidia after fighting for a month. The
| | recompiling the NVidea drivers with each kernel upgrade is minor
| | compared to the missing 3D graphics and associated problems. (lack of
| | game support :) )
| |
| | ATI's own software does NOT support 3d and I didn't find this out until
| | after I purchased the card. :(
| |
| Robin Laing,
|
| You have to check out ATI's site. They say their drivers do support
| 3D... Just not opensource due to proprietary disclosure agreements
| limit them from releasing the information as opensource.
|
| Thanks,
| James

Ok, correcting myself some more.....
XFree86 4.4.0 will contain support for 3D using ATI chipsets below
Radeon 8500... ATI's site has 3D support for Radeon 8500 and above on
their web-site... Binaries only!
Hmm... amazing how things change so quickly.
Just my added comments.
