AFAIK no one has even started reverse-engineering their driver. There is
official word from ATI that they will not give any information to
developers of free drivers. German computer magazine c't asked them.
Theres one or two sentences about it in an article about the linux
driver situation (page 168, magazine from 27.12.2005).
The r300 driver was written without any information from ATI. It works
with cards up to the X850.
