I have RV620. Specifically, this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121259 After it arrived I found that support for RV620 didn't appear in radeonhd until version 1.2 and the version in the gNewSense repositories was too old. A quick compile later and I had a fully functional video card. The 2D performance is just fine and I find X to be very snappy. Even my 1080p videos play well (they're using Theora and that codec admittedly isn't very demanding in the first place.) It looks like Debian has a sufficiently new version in their repositories so I'm looking forward to the card working out of the box when gNewSense 3.0 comes along. :) 3D graphics acceleration has never been important to me so I've never really looked into the matter. I suppose I could try, but I'm on vacation right now and won't have access to that machine until the 17th. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
