How To Get Better ATI Linux Support

Kinda wanted to comment that it wouldn't make sense for ATi to add AIGLX support to the current driver set. The OpenGL driver has been re-written (or gone through a re-architecture process). As I understand it, given that the OpenGL driver is going to be replaced in a couple of months anyways, and would also need to support R600 products, there is/was no value to spending development time on putting AIGLX support into the current OpenGL driver.

Also, I contacted Sapphire. It's probably best in the US to Hit 0 for Operator, then request Sapphire.

I think I completely confused the guy on the other end of the line. But, the more people that call, the higher the chance Sapphire will turn around and talk with ATi directly.
