BTW, is there any chance that the -ati driver is going to include support
for newer cards, the Radeon X series? It's sort of pointless for any newer

I recently actually got sufficiently pissed off at both the ati and fglrx
drivers that I went out and bought an nv/nvidia card, both of whose drivers
actually work properly.
