Re: nVidia vs. ATI graphics card for fedora

[Jack Howarth <howarth bromo med uc edu>]

   I haven't seen this issue mentioned yet, but ATI has just depreciated
all hardware older than the HD series of cards as of the 9.3 release...

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.9&lang=English

This means 9.4 and beyond will no longer promise support for these cards
(although it may still work for a short while). I should have saw this coming
when I couldn't get 9.2 or 9.3 to produce video on my X1650 under x86_64 Fedora 10.
We are all stuck with the free drivers now.
