ATI Releases Drivers For X.Org

Posted by timothy on Monday January 17, 2005 @01:04PM from the making-things-pretty dept.

Amadaeus writes "ATI released its much anticipated drivers for the X.Org 6.8 Window System today. ATI actually went one step further and updated its driver set for XFree86 as well. Those who had to hack and slash their way through the Fedora Core 3 install only to realize that VESA was the only way to get it working in init 5 will find this highly useful."

You lose DRI when you enable composite even with NVIDIA. As for XDAMAGE...well, I'd rather ATI be concentrating on the bug fixes and performance increases they so desperatley rather than waste time on some silly xorg feature.
