Is this newer version then the one in Lucid?

yes.
lucid is using 10.04

D2D is still broken. Its fast as hell, but there is just too much graphics artifacts.

[Exopaladin]

Just posting to say that 10.5 fixes the issue with some games (notably the Source engine stuff) that caused them to crash on 5 series cards with Offscreenrendering set to FBO. Tested TF2/Portal and both seemed to work.

Bah. XvBA still broken with Evergreen

[Kano]

That's poor, did you try the same content with a supported card/onboard?

[monraaf]

Well, catalyst version from Ubuntu lucid was working with the same content on a HD 3200. I haven't tried 10.5 yet with HD 3200.
