    It's a pre-S3TC screenshot but it's the same issue.

    PS : Why the edit limit is less that one minute? I did not get the time to remember the screenshot url...

    For problem number 3 : Disable color tiling, it will fix it. (Have the same unresolved bug here)

    S3TC does not work for me. I am using r600g from mesa-9999 (compiled with R600_ENABLE_S3TC=1, USE_EXTERNAL_DXTN_LIB=1), xf86-video-ati-9999, libtxc_dxtn-1.0.0, drm-radeon-testing (2.6.38-rc8-44191-g38f1cff), libdrm-9999 and even wine-9999, all checked out in the last hour and...

    Code:
    glxinfo |grep -i s3tc
        GL_NV_texgen_reflection, GL_NV_texture_env_combine4, GL_S3_s3tc, 
        GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, GL_EXT_texture_env_dot3,
    but...
    1. L4D is one green screen: http://img816.imageshack.us/i/l4d.png/
    2. L4D2 doesn't start: "I need compressed texture support blah blah": http://img560.imageshack.us/i/l4d2.png/
    3. NWN and native Unreal Tournament look like some distorted, multiplied slices: http://img192.imageshack.us/i/nwn.png/


    some weeks ago it worked, but I don't know how and why this changed, but the result obviously sucks

    Yeah, you need to use the kernel in the drm-radeon-testing branch from here
    It has one change that you need for s3tc that hasn't been merged into the mainline kernel yet.

    That's strange that WoW doesn't render correctly for you. It works for me on my 4850.
    Player models aren't all messed up or anything. I used to have that problem, but it went away after going to the latest Mesa and doing all the stuff to enable S3TC including using the kernel from drm-radeon-testing.

    The only problems I had with WoW was the performance wasn't that good (10-20fps), and the icons for items and abilities would sometimes not render correctly. And going underwater gives you a psychedelic view.

    I tried wow.
    For what it's worth, I'm impressed.




    I crashed after a few seconds when I exited the instance.

    S3TC is working nicely for me. Darkplaces engine with Tecnox mod running 55FPS at 1366x768. Oh yeah... the hardware is a Acer netbook (AO721) with single core K125 & M880G (R600) GPU. I'll have to try a more recent game engine soon as time allows.

    Kernel 2.6.28-rc5 & Mesa from git.

    It would be awesome, but I don't think it will ever happen
