No, no such chip-wide breakage in the ati land. I've r200 working fine, and r100 is reportedly also pretty ok (for the class of hardware it is) under KMS. I've also r700 with the ati driver without a hitch and more stable (that is = stable) than the proprietary driver.

Quite. Things that I've never managed to get running before (serious work stuff like Penumbra: Overture) are finally working. When shaders work too I suspect the world will end because there is no further reason for it to exist.
