Yes, the 64MB DDR would work. But, also, the 8500 is supported by the CVS version of XFree86. For now, only 2D and Xv work, but DRI is in progress (the 8500 isn't that different from the classic, and the 7500 is already doing DRI in the CVS branch).
So, in short: Radeon Classic (all cards) work in 4.1.0 and later (support is present, but, IMHO pathetic in 4.0.3) Radeon VE is crippled, but works in 4.1.0 (albeit in an ugly manner), and works perfectly in CVS and 4.2 (or will, once 4.2 is released). Radeon 7500 is fully supported in CVS X, thus will work in 4.2 Radeon 8500 is partially supported (2D, Xv) in CVS, should have 3D by the time 4.2 is released. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Parienti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 10:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie]Question about model of the Ati Radeon Hi, I bought the 8500 ATI Radeon video card, which is not supported be XFree 4.1. I would like th change it with another Ati Radeon. But now I want to be sure of my choice. So my question is simple: Which Ati Radeon card is supported by XFree 4.1, and will be supported in 4.2? In 2D and in 3D acceleration. Is the ATI Radeon 64Mo DDR Ok?
