Title: New ATI FireGL drivers announced (2.5.1)
Okay, driver version 2.5.1 has gone life.
Now the FireGL, the Built by ATI _and_
(newly) the Powered by ATI boards will run.
I hope that helps some of the reading people
and further offloads(!) these valueable dri-lists
from any unwanted

What about support for other architectures, in particular PPC?
The Apple as the #1 PPC platform (okay there might be several others)
does have an AGP slot and to my knowledge there is a nice ATI history
for the MacOS. Not bad the idea

Hello,
i know that DRI is targeting open source development,
but i know myselves that for a developer there can
always be a need for a 2nd source driver reference.
There are several other reasons why an alternate
Linux driver might be of interest for

DRI did great job and it resolves for situations where ATI
cant provide solutions as of today and possibly long term.
Just saying embedded Radeon chipsets, ATI chipsets on BSD,
old ATI chipsets prior to the R200 and further

ATI says
By reading the readme, xinerma+dri is not yet supported. Is support
planned for this? if so, when?
that's something that'll have to be built into the core X infrastructure,
from what I hear.
maybe X 5.0 will have some capability for that; but don't hold your breath.
if you need it, try XiG's

Anyways, i wouldnt be allowed to talk about
Hi
Does this driver works with Powered By Ati cards??
The previus driver didnt work giving the error that is not a Build By Ati
card. Here in my City is impossible to find a BBA ATI, so i had to buy a
Powercolor (powered by) ATI 8500. The nvidia binary only driver works with
any brand of card
I only think it works with built by ati cards, howeverI don't have a
built by ati card and I was able to get it to work, but you risk
