I haven't upgraded yet, so thanks for the heads-up. This presents a real conundrum as the XFree86 and xorg forks diverge. So far, ATI has shown no signs of supporting anything other than XFree86. What to do? OB |

If you have a model up to and including Radeon 9200 the opensource drivers included with X.org 6.8.0 works fine. > What to do? If you want a faster card than 9200, go to http://www.petitiononline.com/atipet/petition.html sign up and hope that ATI will show some interest in more customers. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
