I probably didn't explain myself well, The FireGL card is basically the same as the 7500/7800 with some modification to enable it to perform much faster then the 7500/7800.
So basically the FireGL driver can be with some very minor modifications work with the 7500/7800 based cards. Currently (and people - please correct me if I'm wrong) the Linux drivers through DRI are not even close in performance compared to ATI's drivers in Windows 2k/XP/9X - and as a potential customer - I do expect a company like ATI to provide me with the fastest drivers to really use my card. If I recall correctly, ATI didn't re-hire PI/VA to write the Linux drivers for the 7500/7800 cards and ATI said before that they are written in-house.. So Alex, since I assume you work at ATI (at least according to your email address) - could you ask for the official stance of the drivers regarding the 7500/7800? status about them? I hardly belive that telling people about those drivers will violate any NDA.
