damn ATI - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

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.

strap on your google and start looking, bud. drop the latent homophobic insults while you're at it.

I googled it even before I tried ATI's site. Came up nothing [of interest].

The homophobic insults are simply out of habit. No offense intended.
I saw some gay guys on the city bus fighting, one called the other a faggot, I got a kick out of that for days!
