damn ATI

I bought my 9800 pro with the assumption that they would provide linux drivers for it (because all non-faggot respectable companies do). I had been fairly happy with it up until I realized that assumption turned out to be wrong.

I got this from their FAQ:
Quote:
Please note - ATI Customer Care has NO INFORMATION regarding:
  • which ATI chips or products are supported in a particular version of Linux or XFree86
  • how to configure Linux for a given ATI chip or product
  • when or if drivers are being developed to support ATI chips in a given version of Linux or XFree86
  • what features these drivers might have

    Answers to these questions may be available from a number of sources in the Linux community
There are linux drivers on their site, but they are unsupported and are not available for all cards (not for mine anyway).

Had I known this I would have spent the extra $200 and bought a FX 5900.
