Hi,
Arch user here. Some of you might be familiar with the fact that Arch switched to xorg server 1.10 recently. That throws fgrlx out the window. I am very satisfied with the open source radeon drivers, kudos to the devs, but for now, they wont cut it since I want to be able to play wow/lotro from time to time (there I said it. I play wow sometimes). At this moment, R600g runs wow good, but player textures are very distorted. Lucky for me, I had a backup NVidia 8400GS so I switched to it. This crappy graphic card outperforms the ATI in simple tasks -> video playback, window movement, multi-monitor handling. But it's slower if you turn some 3d game on.
Now. I know some of you have some insights on next blobs/radeon releases so I wanted to ask you -> should I sell my ATI and get some good NV (240/430/440) or wait?
Is there a possibility that r600g will play wow in near future?
Will 11.4 support x server 1.10?
What about GLSL? 8400 runs DragonAge2, ati wont run it because of GLSL.
Thank you.
