The only option is the open-source radeon driver. It's quite good, actually - much more stable than fglrx, has support for almost all features of the cards (tvout is a notable exception) and you never have to worry that the next Xorg or kernel update will break your graphics drivers. -- Dimitar Toshev -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
