John,
Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly. If you wouldn't
mind, could you recommend what the newest fully supported AMD Radeon
cards/series for DragonFlyBSD are? I apologize to keep bothering you
with this, it's just that as I search the mailing list a lot of the
posts are older and may not be relevant for the current release, so I
want to be sure before I buy anything. Thanks again, I truly appreciate
all of the work you and the other devs have put in.
