        Since we've got you here...

        Do you happen to know which GL version/features/extensions are required?

        I'm mostly trying to figure out if it'd work on the OSS radeon drivers (because Catalyst is silly). Is GL 3.1 sufficient, or are there 4.0 features that are needed?

        And well, I guess if the r600g/radeonsi drivers are missing required features, there'll be a bug report on dri-devel/mesa-dev in the next few hours, anyway.

            No opt-in is necessary. The beta is the mainline in the Linux package.

              The article title is pretty awesome, if rather confusing.

                  The game works on my Mobility Radeon HD 3650 on the r600, so you should be fine. We're targeting OpenGL 2.1 + the following extensions:

                  "GL_ARB_depth_texture",
                  "GL_ARB_framebuffer_object",
                  "GL_ARB_instanced_arrays",
                  "GL_ARB_map_buffer_range",
                  "GL_ARB_occlusion_query",
                  "GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object",
                  "GL_ARB_shader_texture_lod",
                  "GL_ARB_texture_float",
                  "GL_ARB_texture_rectangle",
                  "GL_ARB_texture_rg",
                  "GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil",
                  "GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc",
                  "GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic",
                  "GL_EXT_texture_sRGB",

                  Mind you that some distros may need to install an additional package to support S3TC.
