I've been using the schneider-digital drivers for awhile now with a
RADEON 9800 and XFree86 4.3 ... so far no problems and am very happy
with the performance. If I recall correctly, schneider-digital is just
the more bleeding-edge front to ATi's releases.

I wonder if I should bother switching ... or just be content with what I
have now.
