The source for X.org 6.9 and X.org 7.0 is the same (only the building procedure differs), so if a card is supported by X.org 7.0 then it is supported by X.org 6.9 as well (which is already in the ports tree.) > > Since my video card is ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, I really wanna these > new fetures on my FreeBSD :) Just be aware that there have been several bug reports from several people having problem when trying to use the new support for newer Radeon cards. It seems that there are still some bugs in that code. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
