Re: ati radeon 9700M and X
I would suggest you to urge ATI to release a driver under the GPL.
Regarding your current issue, I won't and can't help you. I have the same
problem, but I refuse to install anything binary-only, and I urge you to do
the same.
I am using the provided "ati" driver in XFree. I have no issues with this at
all, and I even have limited 3d-support. (Ran Frozen Throne in cedega once,
before I realized the importance of refusing binary-only software).
Regards, Anders Breindahl.
