moin moin,
As I posted last week, ATI's new cards are releasing with X drivers.
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_evolution&num=1
This won't satisfy some of us as they're binary blobs, but the Free
Software drivers can be used as well.

Now they're available.

Hmm, why does it think that page is a gif?
Anyway, I'm buying a couple of SDHC cards, so figured I'd pick up a new
video card as well. I no longer know squat about video cards, so I don't
know how to rate the available cards.
I don't game, but I do want to have good compiz and video playback. I have
a dual-head setup with 22" wide monitors as well.
I would like something that will run cool at low power. That probably
means I should completely ignore this line :).
Video out would be cool. HD out with Free Software support would be
awesome.
product: M2N4-SLI
vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
It's got a bunch of pci slots, but I don't see anything about agp or
pciexpress in lshw.
ciao,
der.hans
