I have xorg-server: 1.6.3.901-r2, and xorg-x11: 7.4-r1. Were is the x11-
drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 FAQ?
on the AMD homepage.
Don't worry, your card is supported by catalyst 9.10, will be supported by
9.11 and probably be supported by 9.12
Just use the ati-drivers package - and patch xorg so it won't suck in 2d.
What the patch? Give me more information, please.
