Has anyone downloaded these and gotten them to run?

Specifically for the 1400x900 resolution on the 4760 widescreens?

I am running them now. DLed last night - I get better speeds from glxgears. They dont seem to add any crazy new functionality though.

Sorry - they are for 2.4 and 2.6 I believe. Personally I think 2.6.x is the only way to go.

Especially with our fairly exotic hardware.

I finnaly got grub to play nice last night, running a 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 kernel now the long part emerging all the apps. I'll be trying out these when I get to that stage and report my findings on the 5670.

I wish ATI would release Linux drivers for the 7500. Then I wouldn't have to watch flying toasters at 9 fps.

Why not use the DRI projects drivers for the 7500 - the DRI drivers worked very well before I went to the 5680 and 9600

Just out of interest they do seem to give less artifacts - they still identify my card as a NP though. Also winex stuff is a lot better.
