It's the latest version of the ATI/Radeon driver, been testing it for a week or so now. Installed via the x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati port, no changes to the port except the version number and distinfo. But I had acceleration with the standard 6.14.3 version also. The only problem I've seen with this one is console switching, or rather switching back from a console to X. >> It depends on the card.

I mention PCIe because it may make a difference, I also have PCI and AGP versions of various ATI cards. > I certainly have not payed enough attention but by the versions > mismatch I see and must say: You still are hiding the rendering > capabilities of YOUR card Saying I'm hiding things is not a good way to motivate me to provide more information. These are cut and paste output from glxinfo and pkg_info. The card is fast enough to run ioquake, openarena, and OpenGL screen savers. alienarena is pretty much unusably slow with either card, which I think is due to the driver rather than video card capability. > because I have only ATI cards and a lot, I hacked my eyes out to figure > it out and NO ati card so far gives me dri with xorg-server 1.10 and > it's legitimate drivers.
