I don't blame ATI though. After all, they have to first appease their largest user base. Unfortunately, that means that Linux users are put on hold for an indefinite period of time. Once that project is consummated, the development or porting of drivers to other platforms commences. It would be nice if some patronage were shown to FreeBSD earlier in the cycle though. I cannot help but wonder if this will turn into a nVidia-64 debacle; i.e., waiting years for a serviceable solution. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com |::::======= |::::======= |=========== |=========== | That money talks, I'll not deny, I heard it once, It said "Good-bye.
