Mhh, ATI seriously sucks. Really.

This whole situation stinks - ATI plays games with open source, using the free parts to complement their own components and on the other hand prevent implementation by kernel-developers... maybe there should be more talking going on between hardware-manufacturers and linux-developers, because my ATI-GraKa (9800 Pro) STILL does not work - not with 2.4.x, not with 2.6.x, even with all the newest versions (problem not based on ATI drivers, but on agpgart KT400 / AGP3 issues) Since all compoments do work on W*nd*ws, I seriously wonder how much M$ pays to ATI to prevent linux-driver development.
My apologies for being wrong about the bin-only-part...
Greetings, Dennis
