Hi Thomas!

The only thing that is not supported any longer is hardware-accelerated 3d rendering.
However, this has not worked anyway, as Mesa has dropped support for those chips a long
time ago.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that's what Mesa Classic was forked off for?
AFAIK Mesa classic is for old radeon, i915 and old nouveau code. The so-called amber branch:

But the removed code is for even older hardware.

OK, thanks a lot for the clarification!
I'm glad the 2D drivers will still work and it seems that news article on Phoronix [1] is
a little misleading as from reading the it, it seems that driver support for the afore-
mentioned hardware is dropped completely which is it not the case.
Thanks,
Adrian
