What does 'moved to the legacy support structure' mean? Will my X600 no longer be supported by this or newer driver versions? | |||

Please, PLEASE, if you're going to drop support for "older" cards - open source the drivers for those older cards so OTHER people can support them!!!!! | |||

I've got a Radeon X1200, and the guide says 9.3 won't work with Jaunty. How do I install this "legacy support structure" or whatever? Or am I just plain screwed?
