Catalyst 15.7 For Linux Is Turning Out To Be A Rather Nice Driver Update

He, he, if you guys think that way than Mesa can't also advertise even OpenGL 1.1... because glAccum isn't hardware accelerated

Or whatever some driver has one rendering bug on one generation, then version advertising must be removed or something

Do somone actually test skinning with VLIW hardware on this driver, i dunno it might be fixed?

Linux: AMD Catalyst 15.7 fixes missing texture bug in Radeons older than 7000 series

Not mentioned in the release notes but it appears Bioshock Infinite now displays textures properly with the latest proprietary Catalyst drivers for Linux on my Radeon HD 5850.

Looks like AMD fixed GL_EXT_texture_compression_rgtc on older GPUs.

Can others confirm?

Gotta love AMD ! <3

Seems like the driver 15.7 added GL_EXT_texture_compression_rgtc for older cards - or at least fixed the issues with them

BioShock Infinite appears to run with e.g. the Radeon HD 5850

Cool that is fixed for VLIWs
