proprietary drivers for
decent GL
(namely a Radeon 9250).
This seems the best route to go ATM, but does
anyone have any
suggestions for doing something similar with a
recent PCI-Express system?
I see that Xorg is starting to support the ATI
X800 line of cards using
the radeon driver, but DRI support seems very
early. Also, 2D speed on
my X800 XL seems quite slow compared to the
binary
drivers, which is a
big deterrent from staying with the OSS drivers.

My nvidia (6600le pci-e) works okay with the open
source drivers (nv)
but forget gl stuff unless you use the nvidia
drivers.

This is the one Link Swanson just brought over to the
studio and it's spanning dual screens running
"2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma".
I've had a couple hard lockups while configuring,
we'll see how stable it is as I run it.
