Hi Shawn,<BR>
<BR>
The intent of this post was making this info available to anyone trying to make fglrx working with this card. Maybe this was not the right place, but i think some ati developers might be subscribed at this list to and would make this info available.<BR>
<BR>
The open source driver works just fine for me, DRI works nicely. The only thing that keeps me from using it it's that a bit slow with Xgl. But no rant here, i know this is being worked out.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
Thiago.<BR>
