Baiting you? Geeze, you try to help someone and offer detailed information, and you're the enemy all of a sudden. >it does work my Radeon 7000 PCI...but its not easy to make work. If it doesn't work automatically and work good, and work on the majority of hardware out there with various PCI Radeons, then for all intents and purposes, it does not work. It's very buggy, and not worthy of shipping with it enabled by default. >I posted a fix to the Xpert list a while back and the short >version entails changing a couple files and adding some stuff to >the config...Im too tired to go into it..but its >googleable...(try my name and site:xfree86.org). I'm aware of a few people who posted patches to one list or another, however I certainly didn't memorize their names, and I was just trying to be helpful to you. >Anyways..It doesnt work on _all_ machines..but its better than >the pessimistic "it doesnt work at all" reply that keeps open >source down. If it doesn't work automatically and work good, and work on the majority of hardware out there with various PCI Radeons, then for all intents and purposes, it does not work. It's very buggy, and not worthy of shipping with it enabled by default. Hence "it doesn't work". Something is considered to "work", when it works on the majority of hardware that is out there, not when it "sortof works on my system when I play around in agony for hours". If it worked, then you wouldn't have posted a message here in the first place. -- Mike A.
