Hi all,
I'm trying to get DRI working with my ATI RADEON 9250 PCI using
OpenSuse 10.2 which has Xorg version 7.2.
ATI released package 8.32-5 which should be good for xorg 7.2
included in opensuse 10.2... but they removed support for 9250
model!!!!

My (limited) understanding is that the for the 9250 the open
source driver is better than the propriety driver. So the
result is, "Aren't you luck that ATI has dropped support".
