Are you sure about xfree86, I checked their website last night and they list support via the ati driver, which I took to mean the driver provided by ati. I checked the status page for dri and nothing is mentioned about the M10. Shouldn't that page be updated if you have 2d support now? Has anyone tried to get the databooks for the M10 or 9600 yet? How hard is this? Do you guys have an established reputation with ati? I noticed in the FAQ that it said you don't give out the info once they give it to you. Why is that? And why do they only give out the info to companies. Seems a bit silly. Could I just claim to have my own company and get the data? "Why yes, I'm the CEO of Just for DRI, a new company that is making drivers for DRI." Ya know, or something equally silly. When you say "sponsored development" do you mean monetary sponsorship, or do you mean something else? Thanks for the reply, sorry I have so many questions that are probably really silly.
