I sorry, but this doesn't surprise me in the least.  ATI has never
been forthcoming with their card specs, and I doubt they ever will be.
Perhaps in three or four years when Linux lives on a much larger
market share will they start turning their heads.  ATI sucks anyway.
I've never been impressed with their cards.  When 3dfx stepped onto
the block, ATI was but in a long dark shadow they can't seem to crawl
out from behind.

I'm not bitter.  Really. <blink, blink>
