I tried them and they work great. I'd recommend backup up your current XF86Config file before running their crappy command line config program and then merging the results together. They didn't have my keyboard or monitor settings quite right so I went with the ones Anaconda picked out. Actually, 90% of the resulting XF86Config file is the original one...there's just a few extra options in the display section.

I'm thinking of assembling a new computer, and am considering the ATI

I'm running Red Hat 8.0.
ATI recently released new XFree86 drivers on their website that support
hardware 2D and 3D acceleration for the Radeon 8500, 9000, and 9700; see
http://mirror.ati.com/support/faq/linux.html and
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/21/1623202
In particular, the ATI XFree86 drivers suitable for Red Hat 8.0 (XFree86
4.2.0-72) are in fglrx-glc22-4.2.0-2.5.1.i586.rpm and can be downloaded
from the ATI web site http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html
The build date on this rpm is Nov. 27, 2002.
Does anyone have experience with these new drivers on RH 8.0? Any problems
or issues?
Also, does anyone have experience on RH 8.0 with the Radeon 8500
All-In-Wonder using these new ATI drivers and the drivers from the ati.2
project at http://gatos.sourceforge.net ?
A Google Groups search on "radeon 8500 xfree86" doesn't turn up any
definitive answers.
Thanks,
