How To Get Better ATI Linux Support
There is no OpenSource 2D support in Linux for R500 series video cards.
For 2d or 3d performance your only option is ATI's prorpiatory drivers.
For R100/r200/r300/r400 series ATI video cards we have both 2D and 3D support in Linux for ATI using _Free_software_ drivers. ATI's propriatory drivers for those video cards are completely optional (except for certain specific troublesome cards)
ATI should realy help out with the open source efforts. But they don't.
