 AFAIK, you get that with Xorg 7.x.


Last time I was FreeBSDing was half a year ago. I'll test some 3D games
on the 6.2-RELEASE. I will get a decent framerate, will I?


Unfortunately there are still some issues with Xorg 7.x, so
it's not in the ports collection yet. Fortunately you can
try those issues for yourself using a great howto at:

Good luck!

AMD has bought ATI so there maybe hope for official drivers. Meanwhile, 
Xorg, keep up the good work :] .


 OK, that would be it, thanx for the help!

Did AMD work with FreeBSD in powernow or they didn't bother?

Why do you think the ATI policy with open source would change?
