Excellent. Good news, thanks. (Especially now that X.org is in Debian, and presumably will get over to testing at some point in the next few months.)

It seems to be following the late-90's trend of "you get support, just later." I remember a period when a whole bunch of laptops got NeoMagic chips, and it became near-impossible to run Linux on a recent laptop without using one of the commercial X servers. Fortunately, that day is past....

I do miss the days when ATI was sending programming information to people writing free drivers.
