Hallelujah! An id guy finally gets it! Quake3 was the last decent thing they made. Yeah, Doom3 may run just great now, but 10 years ago it was slow laggy choppy crap. Games should be rock solid 60fps...

Re the original story:

Good! I do not like Steam one bit. Holds all your games hostage, cant give them to a friend or trade them, forces massive downloads just to play an offline game for the...

Wait, the Phoronix guy is still a Crapple user? Wow you just lost street cred. Running a virtualized Ubuntu as your main desktop.. yeah sure.

Valve is as bad as Apple, and Steam is hostage-ware. You don't own anything, you can't sell it or give it to a friend when you're done. You can't do much at all. It was very slow and buggy for years...

well I really would have liked to hear specific examples from him as to what he doesn't like in KDE and what he likes about Mac/Windows.

Agreed. This sucks. My respect for Redhat goes down a notch. Don't give 'em an inch, don't play their game.

I agree with the article. I tried the Windows 8 preview a few weeks ago and I think Metro UI is a FAIL.

I run Linux and prefer FOSS when possible, but Windows IS the world's dominant workstation...

"clean-room reverse-engineering"

what? :p dude, just call it reverse engineering.

This is a bad decision and I don't support it. Thanks for moving backwards.

Drop fglrx, and I will drop KDE. hmm yes maybe its time to move on.

Ok I found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gaming

ah great, thanks!
For spawning a second X server, what is a good method?

Hi, fglrx Cataylst 12.1, openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, (tried a hd5770, and hd6970)

I have two monitors, using the 'Multi Display Desktops' option in amdcccle. Works fine, I can drag windows back and...

umm. trees. lots of trees. and some grass. and some LOD popping.

WOWO THIS ONE IS GOING TO BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF BOY1S!!

That works, thanks!

I got that bug again where amdcccle / control center shows an older version number on the Information page. It says 11.6.. :/

how do you fix that again?

Anyone know if the 'bottom right corner mouse hanging bug' is fixed?

what does 'xpic' refer to when building fglrx drivers?

Yes several of us have the lower right corner freeze up bug. Sounds like it is still present in 11.7.
