No r300-series (9500+) Radeons are supported by open-source DRI drivers. Though there's certainly enough will in the community to do it, I'd say, ATI is not yet releasing documentation for these chipsets. ATI has said that they'd work with a FreeBSD developer to help get the driver ported, but I don't know anybody with the motivation to do it. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
