Yeah, but would ATI release drivers for the 7500/7800/8500 or only to the 8500 series? Any time frame? I'm going to order a machine soon (dual AMD) and I'm interested buying the Radeon 8500DV and so far not a single word from ATI regarding wether the card will be fully supported under Linux (and I mean video in/out [V4L compatibility is very important], DVD playback (including Xv support), TV tuner etc.. - will of this will be supported with the upcoming driver? NVidia for example have a nice trick - 95% of their drivers code is the same on Linux and on Windows, with only some modifications like kernel modules for Linux and agpgard - will ATI do the same? -- Hetz Ben Hamo [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
