Hey Ben,

Recently I bought a Radeon 8500 (the pci id is 514c, which isn't
detected by the 2.4.17 kernel) and was able to get some framebuffer
support working, but it's rather flaky.  I didn't have any compilation
problems like the previous guy though.  However, I have a few questions
for whoever can answer them:

o Who has an 8500 and is working on improving it so that it is more
  stable?
o Where can I find the latest tree?
o Has anyone put together a website with a collection of the available
  documentation?

Thanks,
Bryan
