[edit] Screen Rotation
ATI Linux drivers do not rotate screens natively. In other words, Linux users currently are unable to rotate their screens without extreme slowness. The Windows version works beautifully.
[edit] Open Source Drivers
ATI Radeon cards 8500,9000,9200 and 9250 work with open source drivers provide OpenGL 3D graphics acceleration.
[edit] Proprietary Drivers
Proprietary drivers can be used instead, if so desired, although it is not necessary to use these for the cards listed above.

The ATI driver uses a version of the shading language called the ARB extension. The ARB extension was used before OpenGL 2.0 was finished.
