better 64bit linux drivers,
also i would like direct rendering to be enabled by default, when i installed the latest drivers direct rendering is not enabled. I have to re-edit the xorg.conf and reboot and then it works.

As for me, I'd love to see the Compositing Extension working properly and finally enjoy all these cool effects

Basically speed, compatibility, and stability.

I think the control panels and other fancy stuff can come later. There's no use for a control panel if the drivers don't even work right?

Aren't you a bit unfair here? If you have problems, why don't you post them so that we can try to help you? Saying "the drivers don't work right" doesn't solve much

Better compatability with the radeonfb kernel driver (ie no lockups and screen corruption)
No MTRR conflicts/overlaps when using radeonfb (or even vesafb) kernel driver
Fix those gcc warnings - it looks unprofessional!

Forced FSAA and Aniso would be nice
configure via ~/.drirc so that you can have different settings per different applications. Which is what Windows users have been asking for for ages! Let us Linux users have it first and rejoice!

xgl support

Quote:
XGL - xgl will allow us to fully realize hardware acceleration, meaning more than just eyecandy. By using the graphics card to render the desktop it should help make things snappy as well. Hopefully the ATI driver will be able to use this by the time it comes around

Here is another one; make DRI work even when DRM is enabled in kernel.

What is missing of relevance to you?

Don't take the GL version string as the basis for your decision. That is the basis for the libGL interface. The OpenGL ABI dictates that that is the *only* base requirement.

I trust you have looked at the newer drivers?
