I have looked through both the mailing list and the supported hardware list however neither mentioned ATI graphics cards. The laptop that I have been looking at has the "Radeon HD 6650M" graphics card (http://shop.amd.com/US/_layouts/shop/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=LX.RCH02.004). Questions: * Does FreeBSD have drivers for the Radeon HD 6***M series? * Which models of ATI graphics cards does FreeBSD have drivers for? * Would anyone suggest a specific laptop (even if it is not AMD/ATI)? Thank you. -Andrew Hinton
