Hello! I'm currently in the process of building a system (i386/amd64)
for a research project where we'll primarily use OpenBSD for
development.

I'd like to run Xorg on this machine, preferably with accelerated 2D
and 3D graphics. I've been reading around a bit and noticed that OpenBSD
just recently (late 2008?) got support for DRI/DRM. From the article I
read over at undeadly, it seemed like only Intel and ATI/AMD chips have
DRI/DRM support. I failed to find an up-to-date list over which chips
have been gettiing support after this article went live. Does such a
list exist somewhere?

I was thinking of buying a card based on the ATI R500 chip
(X1600XT). Would this be a wise choice? Finding these semi-old cards in
retail stores seems to be hard, so I'd probably have more luck on
Ebay. Do any of the newer Radeon HD cards have DRI/DRM support?
