has anybody noticed or simply not mentioned that the wii has a fairly nice graphics card from ati? dont we need drivers for it if we want to do all the cool stuff like beryl?

Please give me feedback and let me know how awesome this would be with some hacked linux ati drivers.

To be technical, it is only one main card in the Wii with most of the stuff on it, including the ATI chip. So there is no graphics card.

But you are right, a driver is needed for it. And ATI most likely has signed a treaty to not make a driver we can use. Luckily, the GPU is backwards compatible with the GPU in the Game Cube, that we already got a Linux driver for in GCLinux.
