[mythtv-users] Experience with AMD FirePro GLM5950 or AMD/ATI in general

[Jos Hoekstra]

Hey,

My university is offering new notebooks for students, this year it's an 
HP Elitebook 8560W with AMD FirePro GLM5950. I've not used AMD/Ati for** 
years because of driver-troubles, however I hear good things about AMD 
lately concerning drivers and acceleration under linux.
Are there any experiences using this chip and it's drivers under linux 
and mythtv? I know acceleration isn't there yet, but might be in a year 
or so and I'm trying to plan ahead.

I'm using mostly SD but also some HD from satellite.

I'm asking to see if the elitebook itself is supported(did the 
laptop-testing site die?) and if the graphics from AMD are supported.

Thanks in advance,

Jos Hoekstra
