,----[ Quote ]
| After some recent work today, Compiz is now working on R500 graphics cards
| using the open-source xf86-video-ati and the latest Mesa git. In addition,
| the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo is even running! There is now parity between
| the open-source R500 3D support and the level of Mesa support for the older
| R200/300/400 generations! This is one hell of a milestone.
