I've seen some postings on various discussion boards about the leaked release candidate of the Catalyst 8.11 driver. Of couse, these are very same drivers that made news on this website due to their inclusion in the immenent Ubuntu 8.10 release.
On other sites, I've seen it noted that these drivers support Radeon cards that operate via the AGP interface. For newer Radeon cards (2xxx and beyond), AGP support has hitherto been offered in hotfixes from AMD/ATI for Windows, and has been very limitted on Linux (only a few 2600 cards have been given AGP support).
I'm considering upggrading my AGP graphics card to a Radeon 3650. I actually bought this card a few months ago, but returned it when it turned out that there was no driver support under Linux.
Does anybody know if the forthcoming Catalyst 8.11 drivers will support these newer Radeon cards using AGP on Linux?
Thanks for any help!
