There's another team doing avivo (driver for up-to-date ati cards) and work on 
r300 is continuing. It's good to have drivers for all common cards, isn't it?

If people are new to Linux, they'll install it on the hardware they already 
have. They won't buy a new card just because there are better linux-drivers. 
So to make everyone happy, it would be great to have at least some 3d-support 
for everyone. I hope due to the good work of both teams (avivo and nouveau), 
we can have that in some time.
