<div id="style_15055018170000000502_BODY">What is required to integrate the ATI video driver with OI?<br>
<br>
I notice that the ATI video driver is present in Freebsd. It comes<br>
from X.org, and supports a long list of AMD/ATI/Radeon GPUs. The<br>
Freebsd package is called `xf86-video-ati'. It provides two shared<br>
libraries, ati_drv.so and radeon_drv.so, that are loaded by the X<br>
server.<br>
<br>
Could we do the same thing with the X server in OI? What do we need<br>
to change?<br>
