Hello, When are the various different patches out there for ATI cards going to be integrated into XFree86 and DRI? I know of at least two different projects that are modifying these drivers.
What's the deal with ATI's drivers? Why couldn't they just help out with the existing drivers instead of reinventing the wheel? After all their drivers don't support XV at all, so you can't use the multimedia capabilities of some of their integrated cards like the AIW-PRO and 8500DV. I realize that in the past they have provided some information to XFree86, and eventually after having their multimedia stuff reverse engineered to the group that was working on that. They have, however, never provided complete information! I should have learned my lesson with the problems I had with ATI and the AIW-Pro.. I really can't see the problem with these chip designers releasing information so there could be drivers written that can take advantage of ALL the features for the chips, and boards they produce! It would be really nice if there could be one set of drivers for these cards, rather then this hodge-podge of drivers! A driver set that supported all the features for the cards!
