Wanted Linux beta testers

CATALYST maker · Aug 11, 2003, 05:51 PM

Am looking for some Linux users that want to beta test upcoming CATALYST. This time I am looking for people that own "powered by ATI" cards and run Linux.

Use my sig link to apply for beta program and make sure you put LINUX in the subject line of the email you sent out.

medisyn · Aug 11, 2003, 06:00 PM

does this mean we will have 2 drivers sets ? one for "powered by" and one for "build by"

hope not

jcastill · Aug 11, 2003, 06:38 PM

I don't think so SuperFanBoy... It's just more work... I'm very happy to hear Catalyst and Linux together...

Nope thats not what it means. It means I want some more coverage for our partners boards so thats why I want some powered by testers. Built by users can still apply though.

Hey driver dude, irony has struck me upside the head today as a few hours before this was posted I sent my app in. Should I resend with linux in the subject or do you really look at all the driver apps and will notice that I have linux in mine?

EMunEeE · Aug 11, 2003, 08:54 PM

Sent!

og-phantom · Aug 11, 2003, 09:01 PM

catalyst and linux in the same sentance!!!

Application sent! Tho, I have a built by ati radeon 9800 pro 128, i hope cat maker let's me in

ASCI Blue · Aug 11, 2003, 09:40 PM

Decided to resubmit as you asked us to Catalyst dude, also realized I made a bork in my first app. Sigh.

rinthos · Aug 11, 2003, 09:55 PM

What about Ati Radeon Mobility 9000 users ?

And as others i know would want me to ask for them, Ati FireGl Mobility 9000 users?

Let me know asap and will thus apply if this is acceptable.

Ah, I noticed not putting the Linux word on the subject too - right after hitting the send button.

Anyway, it's mentioned in the message body, so humans should be able to notice the difference. Automatic mail filters might still get it wrong though.

Also, the .DOC surely is quite problematic for most of us! I had to reboot into Windows to fill the form and even then I couldn't save it as .DOC and had to make it .RTF..

Falcon1 · Aug 11, 2003, 10:13 PM

Hum, I think The FireGL Mobility is already being supported by the newest kernel!? Well, I will apply tomorow (damn it's 04:14am...)... maybe then i can get multimonitor and 3d to work with my 9800pro under linux

DarkVamp · Aug 12, 2003, 12:58 AM

Hi,

I use SUSE 8.2 and MANDRAKE 9.2 :-)

Check Your mail !

DarkVamp · Aug 12, 2003, 01:20 AM

Hi,

yes with OpenOffice 1.1 You can handle the DOC file. Just open and safe it......

Nocain · Aug 12, 2003, 01:31 AM

Confused :P, I have 4 ATI cards in 4 diffrent machines all running diffrent distros of linux.... which do I put just 1 or all, or does it not matter?

And did I miss the sign ups for Built By? :P

True Irony is that I just bought a Powerd by card yesterday from a friend of mine that was sick of the lack of ATI support...... Boy is he gonna be pissed when I tell him about this. :P

**G.I.BRO** · Aug 12, 2003, 01:31 AM

Just a reminder,
Guys, dont send PM's or emails to CM in regards to apps. Use the links in his sig, and then come back and post that you applied if need be.

Thanks!

DarkVamp · Aug 12, 2003, 02:32 AM

Hi,

do we look that stupid :-) I mean not his privat eMail when I said "check Your eMail" :-)

Exxtreme · Aug 12, 2003, 03:03 AM

Nice to see, that ATi takes Linux very seriously.

BNO · Aug 12, 2003, 03:20 AM

Great!

At least we get some new Linux Drivers for newer ATI Products!

I submitted the Form, using MDK9.1 and a FIC A97.

Okio · Aug 12, 2003, 04:34 AM

DarkVamp · Aug 12, 2003, 05:01 AM
