Hmm... I /thought/ it was there, but the manpage said no... |

SUPPORTED HARDWARE |
| 32 |
The radeon driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the |
| 33 |
following ATI chips |
| 34 |
[snip] |
| 35 |
RV370 Radeon X300, M22 (2d only) |
| 36 |
[snip] |
| 37 |
Version 11 xf86-video-ati 6.6.1 RADEON(4x) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
So that's the current manpage. <shrug> That's why I recanted and said it |
| 40 |
wasn't there yet, once I looked at the manpage. Maybe the manpage is |
| 41 |
wrong? I know it had /some/ updates for 6.6.1, as the options tweaked a |
| 42 |
bit. Maybe they updated the options but forgot to upgrade the supported |
| 43 |
hardware status? |
| 44 |

You are absolutely right on the xorg version, 7.1.1 not 7.2, I just |
| 46 |
verified. I had read the site and seen the release schedule and that the |
| 47 |
next (major) release was 7.2, but that was before 7.1.1, so I got |
| 48 |
confused. The x.y.1 version numbers make rather more sense, now! |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Now I'm wondering how many people I ended up steering wrong, saying 7.2, |
| 51 |
when it was 7.1.1. Oh, well, at least I'm straight now. =8^% I hope I |
| 52 |
didn't mix up anyone /too/ badly. <sigh> |
