They've also refused to give/sell the information to 3rd party driver manufacturers such as XiG. If you want *real* 3d performance binary drivers are the only way to go :( DRI is years away from the quality that the closed drivers have reached both in terms of support and performance. -- Shawn <drevil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.warpcore.org/
