My impression is that radeon is the more stable and feature-complete at present. I've tested both on a couple of cards and radeonhd had some flaws (which I now can't recall). Probably won't get 2D acceleration on that card yet. Probably not even after 7.1-RELEASE, then xorg-7.4 and Robert Noland's DRM updates. However, AMD just released some stuff and more is on the way. > Anything to consider besides having either "Driver radeon" or "Driver > radeonhd" in the xorg.conf in order to get going?
