Re: fglrx ATI driver

    Hi,

    Can I make a suggestion?  (Don't wanna start a flame war, just my 
opinion)

    Drop ATI for nVidia.

-----

    I was using and yes, hooked, on ATI since their VGA Wonder and more 
with their 8514 compatible card
    (for which I found a way to make it work with X11R4 btw, dont know 
if its still there ... lookup aal_at_broue.rot.qc.ca).

    But ATI close/limited access/"got snob" the developer channels and 
stop providing documentation under the excuse that its propriatory 
informations (yeah sure... come on).

    So my ATI contacts dried up, no way to get a NDA to get that 
documentation, and even then, there is no TV documentation, and 3D is 
limited.

    So bye, bye ATI.

-----

    I got a nVidia 6600 and since nVidia support FreeBSD natively its a 
breeze.  (With 3D!)

    Now TV is coming from a low cost bktr card and I'm happy.
