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

[asdfblah]

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....

Tesseract has been covered many times: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ch&q=Tesseract

I think u do just something wrong, maybe I am wrong and 99-100% of the bugs would happen in lets say fedora rawhide too.

But I would never install ubuntu if I want to test free glx-drivers.

Ubuntus main advantage over something like fedora (for others its a disadvantage) is their commitment to non-free drivers to make it as easy as possible to install them.

Its not convinient I know, but why test it then in the first place if most of your audience will not install your setup too?

I would never install fedora to test proprietary drivers, and the same is true about ubuntu and free drivers. Except I want to test how well ubuntu works specificly but want to test the drivers right?
