Re: [Dri-users] Radeon 8500, lack of support.

[Bache K. <bah...@te...>]

Hi

I've radeon 8500 and I've been trying alot of binaries with the monitor
turning off when I've done startx. I'am very tierd of that shit. If I
know the support for radeon8500 was that lousy I would never bought this
crap. I've heard there's cvs. But I don't know how to get the drivers
from cvs and install and make my radeon8500 working. I'am very upset of
the useless cvs docs at the site.

I've not successed making Directrender working so far either...hopefully
you know how I shall get the source from cvs and install everything.

regards
bkw
