Ati Drivers: Ati Radeon
built 639 days ago
As of December 2007, Mobility Radeon drivers from ATI are not available for Windows Vista.[25] The Microsoft drivers for cards do not have a native OpenGL ICD included. They instead use Microsoft's OpenGL to Direct3D translation layer, which is not as fast as the native OpenGL driver. A solution to the lack of official Vista Mobility Radeon drivers is to use the Mobility Modder to modify the desktop Radeon drivers to install for the Mobility Radeon chips.
ATI Omegadrivers has released their modified Drivers of the newest Official ATI Catalyst Drivers. Radeon Omega Catalyst Drivers will provide gamers with an alternate set of drivers, ones that have more options and features than the original sets. The drivers contain optimizations, extra features (like OC capabilities), more resolutions and internal tweaks that can give them the edge in a gaming enviroment over the normal drivers, which are often tailored for synthetic benchmarks. All Omega driver sets are tested to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability. They work with ANY RADEON VIDEO CARD built/powered by ATI, including all Mobility chipsets (M6 and up).

Motherboards.org hosts a graphics card heavyweight tussle between Nvidia's GeForce FX 5950 Ultra based Gigabyte 5950 Ultra card and an ASUS 9800XT which is based on ATI's Radeon 9800XT GPU. After all the benches which is worth your $400+ hard earned money? Click on the headline to read Motherboards.org's shootout.

EDIT: After installing ati-drivers-8.32.5 the "Sideport+UMA" option is no longer needed. These drivers ... work fairly well with the Radeon Xpress 200m. On another semi-unrelated note this also fixed the white screen bug in XGL/Beryl. And it works fantastically. Any questions or comments send them to jtryonksu_at_gmail_dot_com

I’m quite surprised at the lack of blog posts there have been about the news that ATI will be working with the Open Source community to develop 100% free 2D and 3D drivers for the Radeon chipsets. This is real big news, considering that, if you ask most Linux enthusiasts what the biggest problems in GNU/Linux distributions are, it normally comes down to the few extra proprietary software that people have to install, which are usually Java, Flash, drivers and binary firmware blobs.
Michael Krueger has written an ATi Radeon driver, based on the Linux 2.6 framebuffer driver. It should support all chips up to 9800/Pro/XT and features native mode setting, 2D acceleration, hardware cursor and YUV422 video overlay support. Arno Klenke has released a beta version of his new ATA disk driver. With support for 48bit LBA drives, chipset support for Intel, Via, SiS, AMD and nVidia chipsets, better performance throughout and a multi-threaded design Syllable gains a significant speed boost. In the meantime, Rick Caudill codes Sourcery, a source code editor for Syllable (screenshot).
