My understanding of the way that ATI deals with drivers is this: the only driver not available as open source is the one for the current highest end chipset/card. When they release the next version of the chipset and/or Radeon card, they release the previously binary-only driver (for Linux, but maybe for other platforms, too?) as open-source. OK. If this understanding is accurate, then you have the best driver for your card by getting the open source one. We have lots of ATI cards at my office. We just use the open source drivers from ATI for all of them. Things work great. Our LAN parties are fun :-). -- Lamont Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Instructor Guru Labs <http://www.gurulabs.com/>
