    I just resisted the urge to mod this as funny.

    Having an ATI card myself (a Radeon 8500), 3D support in X still seems like a faraway place. ATI is restrictive as hell with what GL extensions should be presented by the opensource driver, those suckers at Via hug their shitty little texture compression algorithm and the ATI drivers failed on video overlay in every version I tried.

    If you want 3D support in X, buy nVidia.
