    Very cool. Now we will have laptop support. I guess its time to start looking.

    I assume that also means we will be getting R300 3D support?

    My question on this matter from one month ago went unanswered, unfortunately.

    Apparently my repetition of that inquiry is also going to go unanswered.
    But if Powerbook support includes support for 3D acceleration and that line uses a Mobility 9700 GPU, then doesn't that indicate R300 3D support?

    Or is Powerbook support initially going to forgo 3D support?

    It does, except when PowerBook support does not include support for 3D acceleration ;-)

    > Or is Powerbook support initially going to forgo 3D support?

    That's the question exactly. I guess we will know the answer no later than the MorphOS 3.0 release :-)

    Is that the next release (forgoing a 2.8 release)?

    Eventually, some MorphOS Team member stooped to answer your inquiry from another site:

    This seems to be confirmed now:

    "3D Driver R300 (Radeon 9700 for PowerBook)."

    According to Fab and opposed to what itix claimed, MorphOS 3.0 will *not* come with 3D support for R300.
