Re: I'm impressed with ATI!

2002-01-07 Thread Roger Oberholtzer


I'm partial to nVidia. Their Linux device driver has worked nice in a
FireWire video system I put together. I would like to know if the newer
ATI cards that have firewire interfaces are fully supported on Linux.
I have seen some references to firewire support, but in other places 
they say that the ATI cards use a firewire chip that is not supported.

I guess I will check the ATI FAQ. So, thank's for the pointer. I did not
check earlier because I expected what you expected.

I've been using ATI and Matrox cards for quite some time now without any 
problems. When I had an issue with the 1024 wonder card they cheerfully 
replaced it. Heck even when I bought the Rage Fury Pro AGP (32meg) it was 
not supported under linux, but it is now. If you like the latest and the 
greatest then perhaps you should be prepared to RTFM a lot. 
Eventually  the card will be supported or some kind soul will post a 
work-around that will make it work. But if you want the latest and greatest 
supported straight out of RD then perhaps you should settle for the M$ tax 
and be done with it.

You are right, I had to go to ATI to get the proper driver for the Rage

Re: I'm impressed with ATI!

2002-01-06 Thread Jerry

Why would I slander a company who is headquarted in my country without
reason??

I have had ATI Rage Pro / ATI Mach Pro / ATI TV Wonder / ATI All-In-One
wonder all have had big problems and when I email support or even called
them I have never reached anybody until two months after I sent my email or
message.

That is why ATI has fallen against Voodoo and NVIDIA...before ATI was number
one by a long shot and when Voodoo and NVIDIA came in ATI just died cause
they don't support their cards...even when Windows 2000 came on ATI wasn't
about to support it but due to the pressure they finally did it. As in
Linux, ATI products sucks with different version for example Red Hat 7.0
which wasn't on the market long since ATI drivers didn't work with them but
other video cards no problem...

Ok, my first dumb question of the day - who or what is ATI?
  
   Makers of video cards.

 That is why ATI has fallen against Voodoo and NVIDIA...before ATI was number
 one by a long shot and when Voodoo and NVIDIA came in ATI just died cause
 they don't support their cards...even when Windows 2000 came on ATI wasn't
 about to support it but due to the pressure they finally did it. As in
 Linux, ATI products sucks with different version for example Red Hat 7.0
 which wasn't on the market long since ATI drivers didn't work with them but
 other video cards no problem...

That's usually a case of having a card that was released card right
after the version of XFree that shipped with the distro.  Most ATI
cards, except brand new ones,  are supported by the current XFree. It's
not fair to blame ATI for that, there are cases that could be made
against almost all PC Part makers if you judge them based on support
under linux.  ATI at least cooperates with the development, if not 
actively participating. I think it's not much more than a year that 3Com
has been supporting/developing their own linux drivers IIRC, many others
are in the same boat.

As far as the support goes, that's unfortunate.  I've dealt with them
3-4 times, and all came to acceptable resolutions as far as I was
concerned...I even talked to a human being once! ;)

Re: I'm impressed with ATI!

2002-01-06 Thread Bill Day

So far from all my ATI's used(no AGP ones as of yet) I have been totally 
pleased in linux and windows...
4Mn PCI, *Mb PCI Expert @ play 98 and ATI expert 128 16Mb PCI

All have performed flawlessly( I am still running the ATI 4Mb in my linuxbox, 
the card is 8 years old) and not a glitch


On Sunday 06 January 2002 19:15, you were heard blurting out:
 On January 06, Hemo enlightened our ignorance thusly:
  Odd, I've used the All-InWonder and now the AGP All-In_Wonder 128 PRO
  under both linux and windows and have been very pleased with it's
  performance as a TV tuner in both enviros.

 Indeed. I had an Xpert@Play 98 with 8Mb VRAM that worked like a
 charm. YMMV, I suppose.

You're blaming ATI for the lack of drivers in XFree86??  I really don't
think you know what you're talking about.

Its apparent that you have an axe to grind.  I don't see any real
evidence here that ATI did anything wrong (zero evidence of any wrong
doing), other than your perspective on things.  You sound like a
disgruntled customer that's now throwing a fit because they didn't get
ATI to bend over backwards for them.  Whatever.

Re: I'm impressed with ATI!

2002-01-06 Thread Jerry

Well I got four words for you..read before you write..about half the
questions you asked it was already stated on my previous post..obviously you
haven't read the Net Etiquette FAQ...

The only reason why I bought those cards was that there was rebates that was
supposed to come with the cards but I am still waiting after I bought my
cards 1 1/2 years ago..I basically gave up waiting for my rebates.

I am not a disgrunted ATI Customer...even tho it might sound like it..but
right now I have two ATI Cards in my machine one works but the ATI TV Wonder
won't work at all...I am just saying ATI don't support their shit and to
tell you the truth...ATI will either flounder this year or be taken over...

Thanks
Jerry
