Thanks for clearing that up. To be honest, I can wait for Hammer if that is a good distance off yet. However, I do have a question about the ATI manual page if you wouldn't mind answering. Of the models listed at the OpenBSD radeon Manual Page for current, I see it stated that
Quote:
o Textured XVideo acceleration including anti-tearing support (Bicubic
filtering only available on R/RV3xx, R/RV/RS4xx, R/RV5xx, and
RS6xx/RS740);
So with that in mind, what you would say is the best currently supported ATI card/series for watching HD videos (I'm not so worried about 3d)? If I can't get this card working decently on DragonFly I think I will go ahead and buy an ATI model when money permits, but I'd like to future proof a bit and get one good enough to not need replacing for awhile.

Also, sorry if I'm taking this thread a bit off topic, I'm still very interested to know if there is any way possible to get that NVIDIA driver working on DragonFly. Considering that Nouvea doesn't use nvidia-settings/nvidia-utils, I'm wondering why it's there on the github page if they aren't planning on it being useful in the future?
