I have a request for a sticky in this forum that lists the the chips and their current status. For example, I have a Xpress 1100 in my laptop and am never sure if it supported, or if 2D or 3D are working. Would it be possible to compile a running list of what works, possibly including the appropriate xorg.conf settings to be used? Other people, beside myself, are clamoring for this information, I'm sure. ;)

This data is probably listed piecemeal throughout the forum, but it would be beneficial to consolidate it in a single table/thread. What do the rest of you think?

This is a great idea and badly needed IMO. As an owner of several ATI cards, I often forget which features are supported by what driver on any particular card.

Certainly is a popular request, if not explicitly for general status, then for a particular feature's status.

Although it may not be fine grained enough, http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature has the radeon and radeonhd features.

A sticky might not be the best vehicle, since the the status will be changing (!). Someone would have to continually edit the first post (with the master status). Maybe a wiki? Maybe Michael could maintain a web page?

We'd maybe need a volunteer to gather and post the status? Is there already a spot (like x.org or mesa3d) where the extra data might fit?

Or is the X.org matrix sufficient?
