I don't have specific dates handy, but the wiki states which is hopefully helpful: (under AMD GPU section): "AMD GPU is the kernel module that can be used to support post-HD7000 or Tahiti GPU's." (and under Radeon KMS) "Radeon KMS is a distinct driver intended for older AMD based GPU's that are available in pre-HD7000 or Tahiti GPU's" I'll update the support matrix to reflect this, also - corrections or clarifications are certainly welcome here! :) -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
