I have HD4200 as well and I tried TF2 with it running the open source drivers and the game was pretty much unplayable (less than 5 fps no matter what settings I had used).

AMD in comparison: Products from 2007, with a 3.4 kernel and Xserver 1.12. Wanna try F2FS on your new SSD? AMD says: Only if you use inofficial patches. Wanna have the new fixed power-management? AMD says: "Fuck you, not with our driver!".

Do the Oibaf drivers use the LLVM backend
Compiled with --enable-llvm or whatever the Mesa flag is?
I wonder if the "old" backend might give better results, since i don't think the llvm backend has focused as much on older hardware. It's interesting to see how much better optimized the Evergreen results seem to be compared to these r700 results.

I'm not asking AMD to support my card forever, but having parity would be good enough.

Quite funny, since the RS880 is still sold today and still the standard IGP for AMD's top of the line FX CPUs. Basically, AMD is saying a loud "Fuck You!!!" to anyone that wants a FX or Phenom II CPU, but needs an IGP. Meanwhile, Nvidia, the company without all the console deals to make money from, updated their legacy drivers to work with the latest kernel and Xserver, supporting their product line back to 2004.
