[Bf-committers] ATI cards for free, last call!

[john tuffen]

Heh, well I would love a new fast Radeon to replace my old-slow Radeon 
(VE/7000) :) But since I already have a Radeon, I don't actually *need* one...

I've already started looking at my particular Radeon problem (slow-menu-
drawing) and have a kind of fix (which unfortunately breaks Blender on another 
machine I have access to :( ). If anyone else is working on this area, maybe 
we should get in touch (my first step is to try and get rid of drawing-to-the-
front-buffer which seems to be a big problem for everyone?)

On another note - I can't seem to get access to #blendersauce - I tried the 
other night and wasn't accepted when I tried to /join

> Radeon 9700 PRO 128 Mb (only card + cables)
> Radeon 9800 XT 256 Mb (original sealed package)

> Developers here feeling competent for such testing, and/or developers
