It was developed by the X11 community, mostly centered around Novell and AMD, with the free documentation provided by AMD. The driver supports full modesetting (read: any mode is usable, not only those provided by the BIOS), and is compatible to [[RandR 1.3|Projects/XRandR]]. 2D and Xv (video) acceleration is provided for all supported GPUs; 3D acceleration via Mesa is supported for r5xx/rs690 GPUs (X1xxx) and is in progress for r6xx/r7xx GPUs (HD2xxx-HD4xxx). -**Status 09/2010**: Linux distributions, including Novell's openSUSE, have now abandoned radeonhd as the default driver, instead using the [[radeon|radeon]] driver. radeon has more features, including Kernel Mode-Setting support and more 3D support, and it supports all Radeon generation from original R100 Radeons to R800 Radeons (HD 5000 series).
