I'll ask the guys on the Xpert list about the release schedule for 4.2, but they don't usually take too kindly to that kind of thing...
As for the Netscape thing (Mozilla, too), that's a known bug with both the 7500 and the 8500. They're working on it. Look at the XaaNoFoo options, since one of these is almost certainly the issue. I'll forward it to you if the answer shows up on Xpert. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Parienti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 11:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Newbie]Question about model of the Ati Radeon On Fri, 9 Nov 2001 10:37:21 -0000 "Sprague, IT3" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, the 64MB DDR would work.

Thanks you for a such detailled answer. So perhaps I could go on trying to compil CVS version of XFree4.1 and keep my 8500 Radeon. Unfortunatly, the only one CVS version I compiled make X unstable with Netscape. Is the 4.2 still schedulled for last november?
