LinuxGames: Official ATI Radeon 8500/8500le XFree86 Drivers

[ Thanks to Friedmud for this link. ]

"ATI has updated their site with official drivers for the Radeon 8500/8500LE. They have a version for XFree86 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, and claim to require glibc 2.2. The files are only available in RPM. The drivers come with a QT control panel, and support dual monitors...

"These drivers are binary only, and there is no claims in the documentation that they are related to the DRI Radeon drivers, but they do have a compilable kernel module, much like the NVIDIA drivers..."
