Before coming to ATI I was actually visited by a team of lawyers demanding royalty payments for the use of "their IP", which was XOR-ing a cursor image onto the screen. At the time I ran a small company designing & building graphics cards and accelerators for other companies selling Mac upgrades.
We told them to get lost and never heard from them again, but I never liked software patents after that experience.

You can try to run r600_demo, but you will have to add your pci ID in r600_demo.c - it's easy to spot where. I assume an RS780 is closest to an RV610 or so. Technically, it comes after an RV635, but it probably doesn't have vertex caches, like an RV610.

Currently there is no list for r600_demo, there probably will never be one. Best chances are on dri-devel, or on the radeonhd list.

Microsoft invented triangles, but they're nice enough folks and don't sue people using them.
