Screen Rotation
ATI Linux drivers does not let screens be rotated natively. In other words, Linux users currently do not have a way to rotate their screens without extreme slowness. Its Windows counterpart works beautifully.
Open Source Drivers
ATI Radeon cards 8500,9000,9200 and 9250 work with open source drivers provide OpenGL 3D graphics acceleration.
Proprietary Drivers
Proprietary drivers can be used instead, if so desired, although it is not necessary to use these for the cards listed above.
2D
X server
- XFree86 and X.org support
Xaa
- X Acceleration Architecture
Xv
- One Hardware or OpenGL overlay
TV Out
- NTSC and PAL support
TV In
- Support for the built in tuner in "All-in-Wonder" cards.
(No support)
3D
OpenGL
- Provides some OpenGL 2.0 commands
BUT NOT the OpenGL 2.0 version of the shading language.
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.
