If you have got xbox (360) pads look there:
wine works nearly perfect with nvidia cards, even old ones like 8800 gts 512 (you need to disable AA, but thats not critical on full hd). The problem is as usual fglrx. At least with hd 5670 you can not play correctly. Amd should really test whats going wrong there, the game is not that expensive anymore, less than Oilrush
and the git repo with a dll that claims providing proper acceleration seems like a half-baked solution. a "solution" that always crashed for me

It just seems odd for id to always release their game engines as open source, but not support an open source platform. A fair amount of the work done on their released game code is developed on Linux with Windows/Mac support added later, not the other way around. Hopefully Valve will lobby id and get Linux support for Rage/Doom 4. I also heard the editor or DLC might have been coming this April for Rage, but "when its done" is driving me nuts.

I completed it as well, but did not try any changes with amdcccle. I just changed the card Did you use the trick to use a pad as well? I don't think the game is fun without.

All linux builds of all id software games have been unofficial - and were only done because someone did it on their own, not for any publishing or marketing ideals. They never, ever, said anything different of Rage; for Rage it was always "if circumstances permit". So I think you were misinformed about that situation.
As for Rage... If TTimo's no longer working for them, it may be a bit...since, like you said, most of the versions've been unofficial, as much to ensure it ran right on multiple platforms. The reasoning they had was that if they expended an extra 10% of effort on things and could make a Linux version that worked you would be sure that the code was pretty robust, running on 3 different OS platforms and running well.
