Sorry folks, I know this isn't the absolute best place to ask; but 
has anyone else seen hide nor hair of any X modules covering the 
Radeon 9700? 

Having finally splashed out on a big graphics card, I've been 
combing Usenet archives and the 'web for any signs of when Radeon 
9700 drivers will make it into XFree86-CVS (or when 4.3 might be 
out); and I can't find anything particularly promising in 
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/

I've currently got X working (via fbdev! - 1024x768 and no 
anti-aliasing! - it's a real blast from the past) - and it still 
runs gears 3 times as fast as my old Voodoo3, but it's kind of 
distressing to see such a mighty graphics card puttering along; and 
I was wondering if anyone had heard any rumours on the bush 
telegraph as to upcoming drivers.

 cheers,

   Gideon.
