Your choice, but similar packages might appear for ATI's drivers, which are rather new. As for support for ATI chips, I'd say only Radeons matter today. Here's an overview of what the free drivers support: XFree86 4.2.0: 2D support up to 8500, 3D support up to 7500 My packages: 2D support for all chips (AFAIK), 3D support up to 9000 XFree86 4.3.0: Probably same as my packages -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
