I have Gentoo installed on my machine, with the 3D acceleration on my Radeon 9200 working flawlessly. Only problem is it is Xorg 6.7.0r2 and there is now 6.8.0 which I would like to upgrade, but if I do, will I lose all my 3D accleration because ATI doesnt officially support 6.8.0 yet?
If you're running a ATI 9200 card, the Xorg DRI driver supports it, you dont need ATI's fglrx driver for accelerated 2d and 3d. The DRI driver doesn't have all the features of the fglrx driver ( ati won't give the developers the docs they need) but it is far more stable and open source.
