10 I visited gentoo.org and skimmed the documentation. What I've read
11 doesn't make me cheerful at all. Quoting from
12 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml :
13
14 GPU Common Name Support
15 <snip>
16 R300,R400,R500 Radeon 9500 - x800 xorg 2D, ATI DRI

18 If I understand it correctly, this means that if I want a 3D
19 acceleration I've got to use closed ATI's fglrx, and if I'd like to have
20 an open driver from Xorg I am forced to accept 2D only. So no fglrx is
21 no 3D at all. Please tell me that I'm mistaken.
