[...cut...]
well, I'm using the a Radeon 9500. First Time I installed the Linux-drivers
in Version 2.5.1 on my SuSE 8.1. The 3D-Performance is not very good on my
System with this drivers.
Last Week I tryed the newest Drivers (3.2.5) and I have the problem, that
the Monitor (connected on VGA-Port1) is shuting down. The cause is that the
video-signal is only sending on VGA-Port2. I dont know why. Has anybody an
solution?
But the 3D-Performance is very good!!! And I think, that this drivers are
also woring with Radeon 9800!
Greetings from Alexander
