R500: Froogle found plenty of hits: "about 1,808 for ATI X1300", "about 913 for ATI X1600", and "about 302 for ATI X1950". Newegg has X1300 for US$59.99 + $7 shipping. R600: ATI is still playing catchup getting the docs out. "AMD has yet to publicly release the R600 (Radeon HD 2000 / Radeon HD 3000) documentation, but the xf86-video-radeonhd developers at Novell have had this documentation under NDA." > > If these guys are so enthusiastic, can we recruit them for the > > project? > > Yes, we should. However as I said, can't remember exactly who he > was. :) I believe Atilla has contact details. You wrote that his friend ordered a board. That should provide contact info. Assuming we can figure out which of the thousands of orders placed during Linuxtag was his. :-) Or just try to recruit all of them. Anyone ordering the development board is likely to be useful. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
