FYI, a first 2D-only (and I think XRender acceleration, i.e. 2D
acceleration, is also not ready yet) UMS-only (userspace mode setting, no
kernel mode setting) driver for the HD 5xxx (r8xx) series has been released
to the community by ATI recently. (It seems they're now adopting the Intel
model where they release driver source code before specs because it's faster
for them to code the software than to clean up their specs.) 2D and 3D
acceleration and kernel modesetting (KMS) are presumably coming soon, though
no date has been given as far as I know.
