Re: Compiz with Xpress 200m (r300) cards?

Is it at all likely that ATI will release the specs of the Xpress chips?

I'll give the reverse-engineering methods some testing in a little while,
once I have some time on my hands.

Should I try all the tools listed on that page, or just certain specific
ones?

Thank you,

Chris
