Hello all,

I am setting up a new box with ATI ES1000 video on board. I want to use only 
free software on it (F7 as the base) and am in a pickle wrt the video. I can 
set it up initially with the on-board circuit but would like to have a 
dedicated 3d-accelerated card with a free driver. Does such a thing exist? I 
checked at phororonix and got good advice about setting up ATI's proprietary 
driver, but apart from hints that something really substantial is in the 
works, no joy about a well-developed free driver. Does anyone care to suggest 
a candidate? Should be in the $200 price range.

TIA,

Dave
