    Gaming with Open Source ATI drivers

    While we like the flexibilty and local adaptability of the Icons its too early for open source. It would be too easy to miss the fundamental values of GMS.

    It works perfect here on my Ubuntu/HD 2600 with radeon driver.

    I was so happy that a Real Game ran that I even bought a copy of WOG.
    I remember when it didn't work so well on my gpu.
    It kind of worked, but it flickered and flashed so badly that it wasn't worth playing.

    Sorry for posting that.
    I dident know World of Goo actually used OpenGL to accelleration.

    Which I found out the hard way on Karmic.
    Well! Time to reinstall F12 for the 3rd time. It keeps on giving me errors after I install the experimental mesa package.

    True but any games using OpenGL should work fine if you yum install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental in the current Rawhide leading to Fedora 12. Of course, they are still "experimental" drivers. So report any problems in http://bugzilla.redhat.com.

    And i think nearly all of the ATI gpu's got good 2D accelleration with the open-source drivers.

    Deagleson, how did the WoW go on the X1600 (R500)? You may want to update the table at:



    Edit: changed R400 to R500. Mea culpa.
