The internets Hubert Figuiere reported that Intel will offer day 0 open source support for their hardware recently as part of his OLS reports. However I haven't seen any press releases on this so the details are sketchy. Any ATI card in the r300 and r400 series are well supported under X.org now, but please let ATI know why you bought one of those cards if that's your choice since those drivers are the product of reverse engineering and not cooperation. As for playing Doom3, I guess your best bet is the top of the line ATI r400 card but check with X.org/Meas at the time you plan to go buy a card since the drivers improve all the time and 6 months from now the situation might change. Avoid nvidia entirely and ATI post r400 (> X600 if I'm not mistaken). Dave Arlie has a 2d driver for r500 cards but ATI has yet to review it and he is under NDA, hopefully over the coming year it would mean better support.. basically, bug ATI if you want this. I promise I'll research this periodically and post updates on the driver support in my blog, which incidentally can be found at http://www.lovesunix.net/blog/ or as part of the Fedora People blogs at http://planet.fedoraproject.org Please don't laugh at my face, I know it's ugly but I voided the warranty. - David Nielsen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
