!!Support for ATI Radeon & FireGL graphics cards on Linux
+
Back in the days when ATI didn't release up to date drivers, NVIDIA didn't release AGPGART source and I ran 2.4.20, I created a page called RadeonOnNforce, which apparently solved a lot of problems for a lot of people.
These days, the radeon driver that you get from [ATI's webpage|http://mirror.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html?type=linux&prodType=graphic&prod=productsLINUXdriver&submit.x=13&submit.y=12&submit=GO%21] is the most up to date version, and the latest stable kernels should have support for NVIDIA's AGPGART as it was released as open source by NVIDIA.
Thanks very much to Curtis Box (no relation) for pointing out the new ATI drivers originally.
