8 But keep in mind that the Radeon HD 3000 is a bit old and not supported
9 by the recent ati-drivers. The lastest version working with that old
10 graphics chip is 12.6_beta_pre897 which does work with xorg-server
11 up to 1.12.x and the recent kernels (3.8) with some patches.

13 But there is no promise that xorg-server 1.13.x or future kernels
14 will be supported.

16 I haven't tried recently but e.g. googleearth didn't play well
17 with any other drivers in the past (at least).
