I feel truly sorry for all those people that have a card unsupported by the open driver.
With the upgrade from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 I've said goodbye to FGLRX - and I've found the open source Radeon driver is a lot better for people which cards are supported by it. Even if it's framerate in linux games is half of the FGLRX and doesn't have GLSL, it's a lot better for desktop with composite+desktop effects, xvideo, etc. - even in games it doesn't have such awful bugs as FGLRX.

before you start ripping AMD, rip your teachers for not teaching you.

Furthermore I want to thank the AMD employees for their (maybe?) hard work.
Ubuntu 8.10 with an PowerColor HD 3850 PCS AGP and it works GREAT ... until nowLast edited by raulromania; 10 December 2008, 05:08 PM.

Thankfully, I came up with a fool proof backup plan for this event -- mainboard swap I'll put this board into a less important system until the video tearing is resolved.

For me the main concern is: does it support the soon-to-be-released kernel 2.6.28 yet. Anyone tried on an rc?
Great to hear it supports Hybrid CF now. I might give it a try even. But not before April 2009 as I won't see my desktop pc for 3 months from tomorrow. See ya at Catalyst 9.3.
