Hm. You're right. I thought the old chips are still supported, but I was wrong.
That's why I will never buy an ATI video card again (or laptop with an ATI card). They just "drop" all support for older products, users be damned. What was new a couple of years ago to ATI is suddenly "Legacy" and "Unsupported". Been though several iterations of this -- the first in Aug. 09 when all fglrx support for everything less that the 2600 series cards was just dropped. Poof - Sorry you bought that expensive laptop a few years ago, but...
Every nvidia card is still supported.
Not by the newest drivers though. E.g. some nVidia cards require a maximum driver version of something like 325. It's true that those drivers are still available, but when I tried using one things started crashing (this was a Cinnamon experience). Probably more of a Cinnamon thing though, but you get the point. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
