Integrated mainboards and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The German c’t magazine have reviewed several mainboards with integrated
| graphics in their issue 18/2007. They tested with Fedora 7, and I’ll sum it
| up here:
|
| * Intel G965: everything including 3D worked out of the box
| * Intel G33: works from kernel 2.6.22, except 3D
| * AMD Xpress 1250: works with proprietary drivers
| * AMD 690G: works with proprietary drivers, except 3D
| * Nvidia 6150, 7025, and 7050: work with proprietary drivers

RandR and TV-Out support merged into free ATI driver, AMD has nothing
comparable
,----[ Quote ]
| And slowly I do wonder how AMD/ATI is going to make good the damage - they
| would have to release a driver which at least supports AIGLX and maybe also
| TV-Out. I would need to see RandR 1.2 support as well (like it is planned for
| the proprietary NVIDIA drivers) to like AMD/ATI again.

| As you can see from the timed results, the GTK+ performance when using
| the Avivo driver with ShadowFB enabled had sharply outperformed the
| 8.39 fglrx driver (partly due to the CPU operations).

ATI R200 TV-Out In Open-Source Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| The GATOS project has long been known as the path to take for enabling TV
| output support with the open-source X.Org driver on the Radeon 8500 to 9250
| (R200) series, but soon you may no longer need to worry about the GATOS
| patch.
