[Dri-devel] ATI driver for Fire 8700/8800

2001-11-21 Thread Michael Born
Hi all, these cards have Linux32 driver (written at www.ati.com) and base AFAIK on the Radeon 7500/8500 GPU. So do these drivers give TL Hardware support for OpenGL on new ATI cards? I would like to buy a Radeon 7500 with DVI/TV/VGA out. Anybody has these drivers? Best Regards Michael

[Personal reply with public CC.] Yeah, but would ATI release drivers for the 7500/7800/8500 or only to the 8500 series? I dont know these specific models, not my personal scope. But i would like them to be supported, so that anyone is happy. Any time frame? I'm going to order a machine
