Please make sure any remnants of fglrx are uninstalled and radeon is not blacklisted. > Also, if radeon driver supports every card, why bother having a supported > GPU list in the man page? Why not just say, 'all radeon hardware is > supported'? All of the chip families are listed (R100, RV350, BARTS, TURKS, etc.). Just just listed a selection of the marketing names for reference because there are so many.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
