Subject: Re: [Xpert]Radeon 8500/7500 support
I have documentation and a test driver for these boards and could add
support, but judging from recent history in the ati driver, ATI seems to
be adding support for things themselves. Can anyone comment on this?
Should I bother with adding support or just wait until ATI does it?
