We had Intel before ATI, and have far more Intel chipsets covered than ATI
ones - the ATI DRI drivers only cover ATI cards that haven't been sold in
a few years (R400 and earlier - up to the Radeon X850 approximately in
model numbers) - the community is still waiting for AMD to follow the 2D
specs release for the current card generations (R500 & R600, aka Radeon
X1000-series & HD2000-series) with the promised release of 3D specs.
