Hey Ian,
Well I just got my dri working and it works reasonable well I play ut @ 
1280x960 and it's fairly smooth for alpha level drivers.  The 2d has 
always worked, works with the radeon driver.  Now I have a original ati 
8500 board and I really like it including the 2d.  Now that that 3d is 
starting to work I'm playing some games again.  Sorry don't own Q3 so 
can't say how good that is.  And yes 2d will work from the stock 4.2 X.

Cheers
Mike
