When are ATI likely to support freebsd????

I like ati's new hd4*** series.. I think that it is the best series since their 9*** series. However I am a freebsd fan and ultimately want to run freebsd with native 3d support. How long away are the drivers? Thankyou :infinity:

 

Anyone?? Doesn't anyone like freebsd?

 

i think never

 

if i wanted a troll I would have just asked for one..

 

Unfortunately ATI does not support FreeBSD, if you had a NVIDIA card
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

So I don't think ATI will every develop a driver for FreeBSD.

 

yeah? So maybe it will convince you?

 

Haven't tried my HD4850 on FreeBSD yet (will wait with a new FreeBSD install untill 8 and KDE 4.3), but there are open source X.org drivers for it. Better ask on a FreeBSD maillinglist or forum for a definitive answer.

 

Official ATi drivers for BSD: probably might not happen

Open source video drivers probably exist...google is your friend

 

If the xorg radeon driver works on BSD you're in luck, lots of development going on there. But do not expect any performance miracles...

 

Why won't ati support freebsd??? Nvidia does.. so why can't ati ffs. Freebsd ftw.
