Since there's been talk about ATI boards, I thought this message would be of interest. This came across on the XFree86 xpert mailing list back last September. I am really happy about ATI's current stand with their cards and Linux.

Can anyone comment on this? Should I bother with adding support or just wait until ATI does it? ani On Wed, 19 Sep 2001, Patrick McLean wrote: > Does anyone know whether there will probably be at least 2d support for > the Radeon 8500/7500 by the > time they're released (I am trying to make up my mind whether or not to > preorder one, but since I use > Linux 95% of the time (only windows for gaming and digital cameral > unloading) I don't want to buy one > until there is 2d support under XFree. > > _______________________________________________ > Xpert mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert > ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
