Ok, so:
- with all the architecture changes showing up, proprietary drivers have a tough time ahead, and unless AMD spent big time engineering on these old cards ...
- this will create more demand for the open source driver, which will recieve more testing and attention (Gallium has R300-R500 support under development right now)
- in concrete terms, you still get about 6 more months with the closed source driver, assuming you update your distro often
- radeonhd is a failed effort from day one (started behind closed doors by Novell; what a great plan ...), so would it be possible to stop mentioning it ?
But useless whining is good, this is the Internet, yah
