Ubuntu - Radeon 3870X2

Hi all,

I know the 3870X2 isn't officially supported and XOrg provides drivers that offer only partial support.

I've been waiting for almost a year to get some drivers that can take full advantage of the card. Plus, the card was expensive enough so I don't want to discard it and grab another one. Supported.

I don't understand why all other cards are supported (even the 48XX X2 series), but not the 3870X2.

Do you, at least, plan to support it?

 

Thanks.

Please describe: what kind of support you are waiting for your 3870x2? AFAIK, AMD has published most Radeon documentation, so I think it is X.org's and/or Ubuntu's job to implement all the Radeon functionality.

Sorry for the late response.

I found out there was a misunderstanding: apparently, the propietary drivers were activated incorrectly and no warning was raised. I found out because I had to reinstall Ubuntu 8.10 (due to other reasons) and this time the card is working perfectly.

 

Anyway, thank you and sorry for the inconvenient.
