Right now XFree 4.2.0 supports this >as 2D but not 3D. Some ideas when 3D will be supported in XFree for Radeon >8500 ? Some new DRI module should be used for this ? 8500 support will not be available until XFree86 4.3.0 if not later. There is nobody actively working on it in an official or full time capacity. Ani Joshi claims to have written 8500 3D support for his employer, but has indicated he doesn't know if they will allow him to release it or not. All you can do is wait for 4.3.0 to arrive for now I'm afraid... Sorry.. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
