There was a post on this list at the end of december(?) indicating that ATI was not interested in helping open source with 3D specs anymore.. I'm guessing they didn't do much with the r300 line either.. but does anyone know anything or have any official word on whether the r500 series of radeon cards will ever be supported by anything other than fglrx for 3D? Any official word from ATI? Is anything known about these cards?
I ask because my ibook g3 is getting a bit long in the tooth, and since my non-x86 options for laptops are fast approaching 0, I'm looking for a turion notebook with a supported chipset. I'm debating about going cheaper with a radeon 200M (which i think has an undocumented memory controller and thus doesn't work even though it's an r300 core?), or the MSI-1029 with an X700 (which is supported by r300, right?). But, the 1029 is about to be replaced with the 1039 which comes with the new X1600, so I'd like to know if I have to move before the 1029 disappears, or if i can wait a little while.
