where did you get this from? I read somewhere that AMD plans to drop support 
for these cards soonish, but wasn't aware that this is already going to be the 
case in the next version. Also, out of curiosity I wonder how you know that 
12-5 will support xserver 1.12.

At least now I know which vendor the GPU on my next machine will *not* be 
from...

Kind regards,
Ralf
