Feature Matrix for Free Radeon Drivers
This page is only for free Radeon drivers. radeon (xf86-video-ati) for 2D; radeon, r200, r300, r600 Mesa and r300, r600 Gallium drivers only. THIS PAGE IS NOT FOR FGLRX/CATALYST DRIVERS PROVIDED BY AMD/ATI.
radeonhd is no longer listed here.
Also check out the RadeonProgram, GalliumStatus, and ATIRadeon at DRI wiki.
"DONE" means that it is implemented and relatively bug-free.
"MOSTLY" means that it is implemented but has some known bugs.
"WIP" means that someone has started on the initial implementation.
"BIOS" means only if supported by your BIOS. No software support. Yet.
"N/A" means that the feature is not supported by the hardware.
"N/N" means that the feature will not be implemented, because a better alternative is or will be available.
"TODO" means that someone needs to write the code. The required knowledge to write the code may or may not be known. Please ask on #radeon if you want to get your feet wet on this.
"UNKNOWN" means that the current status of this item isn't known. You are free to update it if you know.
