[Bf-committers] Linux ATI Rescue Team!

[Bart]

May if there special topics too keept eye on i can test on a radeon 8500 
with winXP and a 9700pro on win2000 (always using Blender on it). On a 
older Notebook got a Ati RageLT Pro (Win2k) too.

But i'm not a compile master so i need binaries for test and some hints 
for what too care.
