I meant that the ati driver would not work. It's a fair assesment that at any given point in time I never know whether fglrx will or won't work, and that whenever I make statements about what works in Fedora I am not talking about what happens to work this week with a closed source driver. I have a hard enough time fixing the bugs I get in the code I _have_ to worry about bugs in software I'm physically incapable of fixing. > Is there any hope to be had that when you do the disruption[1] there will be > some support for the R600 chips? radeonhd is in rawhide. It may or may not work after the rebase. We'll find out! - ajax -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
