I have an ATI Rage Mobility Pro chipset. This was 3D accelerated in 3.3.6 but not in 4.0. There seems to be so many ATI drivers / modules / kernel options / ATI's own stuff that the picture for me to try and resolve if any one is still looking at 3D on this chipset is extremely difficult.
Your list is missing at least one other that I know of, namely Utah-GLX !

Hi!
As a future ATI Radeon 8500 owner :-) I wonder about the different
available drivers :
- xfree86
- dri
- gatos
- ati.com
How are they related ?
Do the serve the same purpose or every one does its own part ?
( read : do I install one of them or do I combine them ? )
Is there any overlap in functionality/features ? Code ?
Is gatos fully free/open ?
How about ATI.com ? Binary only ?
Are those FAQ's ?
And finally , what is the best ( combination of ) driver(s) out of
those ( are there any others ? ) for an end user ?
Regards, TIA and party on,
