R300 - Revision history

ThinkGNU: There was a userspace 100% nonfree radeon driver and a Linux 40% nonfree radeon driver (that depends on nonfree peripheral software and a nonfree VBIOS) that uses mesa in the userspace.

-In post-2.6.13 development kernels (and also 2.6.13-mm3), DRM support for the [http://r300.sourceforge.net/ R300] chips from ATI has been included. Together with a bleeding-edge version of [http://www.mesa3d.org/ Mesa] (at least 6.3.2), this will allow 3D acceleration support for systems having a chip like this without the need for the ATI binary only driver ([[Fglrx]]). The latest beta releases of [http://www.x.org/ X.Org] for 6.9/7.0 already have Mesa 6.3.2, but building the R300 DRI drivers is disabled by default.
