Good enough for my purposes (I enjoy the fact that my Radeon 9000 doesn't have a fan...) but people who actually care about serious gaming etc are unlikely to agree. Nowadays there is a somewhat promising reverse-engineering effort going on for the r300 Radeons as well, with some basic stuff figured out. It's unlikely to result in any hardcore-gamer class drivers anytime soon but it might result in cool-desktop grade 3D if things keep up.
