Coming Soon: AMD R600 3D Documentation

[Uber]

AFAIK the r500+ series don't have the traditional video overlay anymore, so Xv is bound to work fine together with compiz.

ATI blob gives tearing and makes my HTPC unstable. So I can live with missing 3D function. I just want XV support and stable driver..

My left kidney for XVMC/H.264 Acc support..

What's missing for r300/400 at the moment is automatic disabling of the traditional overlay when a compositing manager is active... agd5f, are you listening?

As long as Xv and Compiz can happily live together I will use it.

I waited an year for this myself

I'd say it's very doubtful for Ubuntu 8.10. For the next Fedora release, it's possible an experimental version could appear...

Well could be a really good reason to have a look at it.
I was wondering, because ATM the alpha 3 of ubntu 8.10 boots but mess up all the output on my 2400 XT.

Is there any chance for a first shot to be available for the next wave of distro in october (ubuntu 8.10 fedora 10)?

I am looking to buy a whole bunch of these cards if 3d textures start working!!

Woohoo! Go AMD!

I just wish I would have had an AMD option on the inspiron 1420n I just bought. Not only did I get an undocumented gpu, I got a defective one.
...and Dell replaced the wrong part.

twice.

..I should have it back, working, in one or two days.
...at which point the hardware will /still/ be undocumented.

The Dell techs, the second they see you bought it with Ubuntu instead of Vista, get all scared and just try to forward you somewhere else.

Anyways, keep up the awesomeness, I look forward to, sometime down the line, owning another AMD gpu.
