The 3D acceleration does not work for 9800XT. I know at least one other guy with an XT and he sold it after a few weeks and, bought an nVidia instead, because it doesn' t work. >XFree86 cannot control these drivers, please direct any questions to the ATI >technical support forums. Technical support forum from ATI has exactly one answer: Linux is not supported blablabla. They don' t even bother to answer questions which is not related to installation as long as the magic keyword linux is included. :( I wonder if it was the wrong decision to buy this card and go for an nVidia instead. :( -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
