Glad to hear there is progress.
I was asking because right now the Radeon-HD series is the only modern
mainstream hardware without RENDER / composite hardware accaleration -
although it was released in early 2007:

- Intel has open-source drivers with RENDER accaleration
- NVidia's proprietary drivers have an excellent RENDER implementation
- Both fglrx (only simple blits) as well as radeonhd don't accalerate
RENDER for RadeonHD and up.

I am developing a new java graphic backend which will be in Java7, and
to perform well it really depends on hardware accalerated composition.
So from my pov the RadeonHD series as well as the fglrx driver are
real stepchilds :-/
I also did some tests with fglrx and performance is horrible right
now: http://78.31.67.79:8080/jxrender/RenderMark.html
I hope once RENDER support is finished it will be merged back to radeonhd.

> patches welcome :)
I have to admit I am completly unexperienced at such a low level....

Thanks, Clemens
