ATI Radeon 8500 All-in-Wonder

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

Anyone using these series of video cards that can give me an overview of
supported features under Linux for home desktop use.

I'm considering 8500DV 64MB or the 8500 128MB.  I do have a spare firewire
card so that part of the "DV" is not that critical.

And from http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/feature_table.html it looks like
the 8500 is well supported.  What about the other "ALL" features such as
capturing TV and such?

ATI mentions dual monitors ("HYDRAVISION").  I'm not clear if that card
supports dual monitors with Xinerama -- and if so, if both monitors can be
analog or if one needs to use DVI input.

Thanks,
