Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I checked the DRI driver lacked support for the (now almost a year old) 8500 cards, had no hardware geometry acceleration, nor multitexture support. These might "work", in the sense of producing correct results, but they are only semi-complete at best. Performance-wise, ATIs windows drivers stomp all over them. Whether that consitutes "useful" or not depends on your perspective, I guess. I should have picked a better term. The Xi Graphics folks at least claim to support the full feature set of the cards. I was curious as to how well it worked. Andy -- Andrew J.
