Hiya,

Just wondering if anyone has fired up XFree 4.2 on the new
Radeon FireGL Mobility 7800. I am thinking of purchasing the just
released IBM A31p Thinkpad which includes this new ATI chip.

According to the article below the 7800 is practically the
same core as the 7500 mobility with the addition of a 128bit
memory interface:

If so i wonder if X would just need tweaking of the PCI ids as
the 7500 Mobility is reported to work well. Any of the ATI
developers on the list got specs for the Mobility 7800 yet?

I must say i'm biased towards ATI due to their OSS GL drivers
and good support for Linux. My last laptop had a Radeon M6D
which I was very happy with (after struggling a little with
the CVS version of X 4.1.99 prior to the release of 4.2
which includes much improved Radeon support).
