Hello,
I was under the impression that the ATI open source drivers did not support 5xxx cards. Today I stumbled upon the following page:
It says that radeon xf86-video-ati driver supports 5xxx cards, but just 2D.
My questions is, does that mean it supports a desktop with compiz? I have an HD5850 card using the proprietary catalyst driver and suffering from tearing. I'm wondering if the radeon card would resolve my issue. I don't do any gaming, I just want a usable tear-free desktop environment.
Thanks
