The Dirty List Of GPUs With Open-Source Drivers Gone Wildly Wrong

[asdfblah]

I have one in one of my machines, running Mesa versions from when Evergreen was first made to work through what came out in the Xorg-edgers PPA when Raring was released it didn't once lose the display. What was running when this happened? Maybe I need to blacklist that machine from being upgraded to my current OS image with current Mesa?

That card is curiously slow, never getting over 350 fps in Critter (2d game in OpenGL) while it's full-spech HD5570 cousin will do double that. Wonder if a firmware bug is the culprit here?

What made the HD5750 stop displaying?

And then u use a absolut non official ppa replacing some stuff.

Why not just try then if something like that happens, a fedora rawhide? its a distro where many developers from the free drivers work as major distro or package directly for it. or use ubuntu if needed and compile it yourself.

can you downgrade packages easily in fedora? do you have alternative, PPA-like repos in fedora?

I'm the german guy here. And I'm pretty sure that link wouldn't have worked in 2005 or would at least not have found any relevant articles.

Ah. Then... never mind

1. We have funnybot ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnybot )
2. Michael is not a German
3. That link is a search request that lists the articles found (below "Tesseract Linux News") and is not a link to a single article

What is with that: Micheal is German, Micheal is not a German .

Everyone should play RTCW now , radeon beat fglrx there by large margin due some bug even on Windows .

and people say Germans have no sense for jokes...

anyway that link doesn't work in 2005...at least they say so.

I'd be interested to know if any of the failed AMD cards work better with FreeBSD 10's radeonkms.

some time in the future
when you will miss those bugs
remember darkplaces has easter eggs

As said already, it's for a ten-year article trying to benchmark every GPU I have my hands on....
