I'm using a Sapphire Radeon 2400 XT 256Mb GDDR3, with 4Gb RAM, and a AMD Athlon 64 X2. On Windows 7 x64 with maxed settings and 4AA/16AF I get about 20-40fps. On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit I get about 5-10 with 0AA/0AF.
Is there anyway to improve the performance? Even lowering the settings to minimum doesn't change the fps much. I've also tried the xorg-edgers PPA but that didn't improve the perfomance at all.

I also know that I can install the fglrx driver but I've had nothing but problems with that before, so I would much rather use the open drivers. ]]> Open-Source AMD Linux sena.akada http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?80915-Is-there-anyway-to-improve-the-performance-of-the-open-drivers A New X.Org-Free Wayland LiveCD Released http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?80903-A-New-X-Org-Free-Wayland-LiveCD-Released&goto=newpost Sat, 25 May 2013 07:50:09 GMT Phoronix: A New X.Org-Free Wayland LiveCD Released

In preparation for the upcoming release of LLVM 3.3, here is an extensive round of C/C++ benchmarks from GCC 4.8.0, LLVM Clang 3.2, and LLVM Clang 3.3-rc1 to look at the Linux compiler performance. Benchmarks happened from three different systems bearing Intel Core i7 3960X, AMD FX-8350, and Intel Core i3 3217U processors for a diverse look at the performance.

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

We apologize for the delay.

The CD Key you have provided has been previously registered to and played by another Steam account.

Unfortunately, used CD Keys cannot be activated via Steam. This includes used CD Keys received as gifts, resold by an individual or purchased from a store selling used goods.

The game can only be played using the account on which it was registered.

If you have recently purchased this product, please contact the seller to discuss a refund or exchange.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.

I thought they were different :( Let this be a warning for you if you plan to buy some used games. ]]> Gaming steffmeister http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?80885-Steam-No-used-games Linux Desktop Security Could Be A Whole Lot Better http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?80883-Linux-Desktop-Security-Could-Be-A-Whole-Lot-Better&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 01:40:05 GMT *Phoronix: Linux Desktop Security Could Be A Whole Lot Better* The security researcher that uncovered a host of X.Org security issues went beyond...
