Radeon R500/600 Support Goes Mainline
Posted by Michael Larabel on December 20, 2007
Following the release of xf86-video-ati 6.7.197 just moments ago, David Airlie has merged the AtomBIOS support branch back to the xf86-video-ati master branch. What this means is that the Radeon X1000 (R500) and HD 2000 (R600) support (even with the Radeon HD 2900XT) is now in the mainline Radeon driver and when using git you no longer need to switch to this separate branch and will be included in the ATI 6.7.198 driver release and later. This AtomBIOS branch merge can be viewed on the FreeDesktop.org gitweb. If you run into problems with the latest xf86-video-ati code, report it in the Radeon IRC channel and you can also share your experiences on the Phoronix Forums.
