I remember this because I was thinking > about giving myself a Christman present, too... ;-) You are correct, my apologies to the original poster. I knew I had read a post on the topic, and using the archives, it took me only about 40 minutes to find it. :) https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/enigma-list/2001-November/003923.html To quote Mike Harris: XFree86 4.2.0 will fully support the Radeon 7500. It is due out within a month, but there is no ETA for RPM packages other than "whenever it is done". I'm working on it right now. As always, before purchasing any hardware, it is best to find out wether or not it is supported first. On the bright side, support is not far away (in XFree86), and when it is supported, you'll have a damn nice card to use. That goes for all the 7*00 cards, and the 8500 also. The 8500 will only be 2D until 3D support is completed. The standard open source "when its done" applies there too. - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8GEEseMAUbzJhSVcRAgKFAKDDnS290kXlC3ASfR/h73UWiSDo5wCgp4v+ 3dxl9krFeG8a8w6ZDcPXUE4= =phnu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
