-Some development notes
-======================
-
-
-Infos about ati-packages:
-Most are identical, even when 64bit packages have a different name
-Only a couple of cards have its own special package. We need to
-investigate, if they are different or one package works for all.
-
-It seems - only for the FireMV 2200 PCI graphics card, they offer an older
-version (8.25) of the unified fglrx-driver. For the FirMV PCIE-Card they
-offer a more recent Version (8.5).
-By the time of writing the drivers were at version 8.7
-
-From the ATI-FAQ:
-
-Q2: Which ATI graphics cards can use this driver?
-A2: The ATI Proprietary Linux driver currently supports Radeon 8500 and
-later AGP or PCI Express graphics products, as well as ATI FireGL 8700
-and later products. We do not currently plan to include support for any
-products earlier than this.
-
-Support for earlier graphics card can be achieved by "radeon" or "ati" drivers!
-
-===============================================================================
-
-Infos about nvidia packages:
-they seem to differ much more as ati if you search directly for a
-specific graphic card. But if you take a look on
-http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html there seem to be just 3 different
-ersions - all for different architectures (ia32, ia64, amd64)
-
-
-
-Supported graphics cards can be read from the nvidia-documentation
-
-For the 173.14.12-NVIDIA-Driver go to
-http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.14.12.html
-and click on "Supported Products List" on the right side
-
-(below each unified driver a line to symbolize the evolution of
- drivers - correct me if I'm wrong)
-
-173.14.12 driver: GeForce FX 5100 & all newer supported
- |---------------------------------->
- 71.86.06 driver: Riva TNT - GeForce 6800 Ultra
-|---------------|
- 96.43.07 driver: some GeForce3 - GeForce 7900 ??
- |---------------|
-
-The Question is, wether we need to support older graphics cards.
-Probably we don't need to bother because the user can download right
-driver package for his needs - almost the same interfaces for the installer...
-
