I have AMD/ATI on Linux Mint 12 Lisa:
I have installed the Catalyst driver (11.8) which seems to be working OK - Catalyst control centre opens OK and doesnt report any obvious problems, and OpenArena plays OK. The graphics feel substantially slower than under Windows XP though, so I installed phoronix-test-suite to look for problems. After attempting to install "Universe" and battling through failed installs I eventually got errors with most graphics things:
Amazingly, running a Google search for "3D acceleration support not available" throws up only 6 hits, all of which are php code. Likewise I cant find any sign of this in the forums here. Seems like I am the only person in the universe to have this error???? Sounds implausible to me!
What could be causing this?
