So, I use a SandyBridge laptop, aside an "ATI Radeon HD 4200" desktop and I'd really wish they continued working. Will the port work like (or better than) the in-kernel driver? While I wish the answer was "yes", if it's "no", what changes? I'm not particularly interested in 3D graphics and I favour stability over fanciness, but I'd like to know if I should start planning for replacements. I'm only using amd64, not i386. bye & Thanks av.
