HP is building its entire Turion64 based line of notebooks using the ATI Xpress 200M chipset. Recently, U.S. Air Force purchased more than 10,000 HP Athlon64 based dx5150 desktop PCs, they are also using the same ATI Xpress 200M chipset: http://www.amdzone.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3610&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 On my Fedora Core 4, if I want to use the ATI (proprietary) driver, I have to go back to a specific previous version of the Linux kernel. But even then there is no guarantee that it will work. If Sun is really serious about staging a full course campaign to promote Solaris (and eventually OpenSolaris), it appears that this (i.e., working with ATI to provide drivers for the Xpress 200M chipset) will be the perfect sweet spot to focus their resources on. But who is listening? This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
