Has ATI announced 64Bit Linux support yet?
I know there is a press release from April 2003, which expresses their
intent to support the amd64 platform, but from then on - nothing.
I wrote them a email in Summer 2003 and asked about the state of
the 64Bit drivers, but didn't get a answer.
Then I phoned up the german ATI office here in Munich, but the secretary 
there was of little help. She couldn't even give me a number of a technician.

Does anyone have any info about ATI's 64Bit Linux plans?
