The drivers have been "right around the corner" and "any day now" for several months now. ATI keeps letting me down in the drivers department on Windows, but it looks like I'm not going to get a choice on the matter. My G200 isn't going to hold out much longer with these new 3D games coming on the market (heck, it's already fallen off of the side of most boxes, and WCIII is a real workout for it). I don't want to loose support for Mindrover though, it's kinda foolish to upgrade to a card with super fast 3D that you can't use most of the time (I only reboot to Windows for Warcraft). -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
