As I understand it the VIDEO_CARDS parameters (fglrx, radeon, etc.) only |
| 8 |
controls what drivers should be pulled in when building xorg. So it |
| 9 |
should not matter much; I'm just curious as to why it's removed from the |
| 10 |
flags when for instance nvidia is still there... |

Out of curiousity, what doesn't work for you with regards to OpenGL? For |
| 13 |
me almost all fglrx drivers have worked flawlessly for years. I'm hoping |
| 14 |
to migrate to the open source radeon driver as soon as it's stable with |
| 15 |
my current chip (rv670 - radeon 3870). |
