RE: [newbie] ATI support
Has anyone on the list tried using the Radeon All-in-Wonder 7500R? The fact that I don't see support for it is the ONLY thing keeping me in WinXP right now. I would absolutely LOVE to see a Radeon AiW 7500r card supported!!! Remote, tv-input, dvd play, and all.

When I got the laptop it had Windows XP HE installed, but I wasted little time in loading Linux on it. Anthony Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] ATI support
I am currently using the newly released ATI drivers on my AIW 8500DV. No features beyond 2D/3D are supported as far as I know. They also seem to be slower than the last set and the DRI drivers, but they handle playing videos better. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Anthony Abby Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2002 1:21 PM To: Mandrake-Newbie Subject: RE: [newbie] ATI support On Sat, 2002-11-23 at 12:49, Ralph M.

Re: [newbie] ATI support [adr]
i have had the best luck with nvidia, they seem to have a better working relationship with xfree the nvidia drivers as well as kernel modules always seem to be released right along with new products. but hey that is just my opinion and you kno what they say about that.

Let me know what luck yall have had. Thanks, I've used ATI cards for quite a while and had no problems at all. I'm currently using an All-In-Wonder Rage 128 Pro AGP w/32 megs onboard. I've always found them to be reliable and trouble-free. The few times I've called ATI tech support with a question, I get immediate and pleasant service. As usual, YMMV.
