With the radeon open source driver, I have more color modes and more

limited in those regards. Not that I've used the radeon driver lately.
The main issue I had with the radeon driver was that the 3D acceleration
was virtually non-existent.

What graphics card are you using? The last status I know is that the
radeon driver has 3D acceleration for all the cards it supports, and
on the cards I have tried (Radeon 9250, 9600, 9600Pro, X550, X800GTO,
X850XT) it works nicely, although slower than the Windows driver (see
