Yes, radeonhd works fine, although there's still no 3d at present. AMD just released the 3d specs for the r500 series of cards yesterday though, so we can hope to see 3d support for some cards in the coming months. Currently though there is great support for things like modesetting. > I'll be happy to buy an ATI card some time in the future if their > released documentation proves to be enough for quality free drivers to > be written for it. What's been released so far has gotten us both radeonhd and also the older ati driver supporting newer cards, so I'd say it's helped quite a bit. > Uh, are we offtopic for this list yet?
