yea, that's good. But it's too bad they don't provide a driver for my 7500. It does all I need, so I have no pressing reason to upgrade. I'll just keep using the drivers from the DRI project at sourceforge.

are they getting better support, or just keeping the bare minimums for all cards?
If they continue support and start doing more releases thats great!
If they continue to release a new version once a year just to add cards... I'll stick to NVidia

What I read the targeted 6 releases in a year that means a release every two months....
