I started a small company with the intent of packaging and testing commercial/closed source or even open source applications for the most wanted distributions. I even started to make an automated...

I'm sorry if I sound rude here, but this is extremely naive. People are not capable of this kind of disciplined behavior with computers (and gamers especially). You get a "hardcore" group which will...

No they don't. I had to fix libopenal.so.1 to libopenal.so.0 on many occasions with 3d FPS games to get them to work. I bought And Yet It Moves and it works "now" but I expect it to break a few...

They won't make a Linux client even if it'd be just a matter of recompilation. Same with Blizzard, they have the GL versions done and ready but they wouldn't bother with Linux clients for a very...

I know this wasn't for me, but once HoN is running smoothly on an X1600 Mobility level card with at least medium settings then we can conclude the OSS drivers mature.

Also Doom 3 needs to be able...

Wine is not an emulator :P It basically just remaps function calls to *nix equivalents and even provides a more optimized OpenGL pipeline than e.g. the original W3 GL mode (which is outdated).

This is a load of crap. I bought this laptop ~3 years ago mainly for the X1600 ati mobility radeon card (which at that time was quite nice).

Now I'm stuck without GL2.0+ 3D support (and flaky...

I really don't want to start a needless argument, or alienate you guys, since I really like the work you're doing and even with the current state of things, feel very thankful. BUT you didn't get me...

I can't because it's a laptop. And my main focus is development, not gaming (although there's some gaming development going on :D).

I'm not whining, but IMHO AMD/ATI could put more effort in this....

Then their (Arch) wiki page about KMS support for R500s is wrong. Ok, thanks, I'll update from aur.

I have ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, perhaps I got some older package, but according to all info I read KMS and 3D should work, yet I get this error:

"(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed...

Which is very crippling in the linux world. Most distroes are release locked. I guess I could fine tune stuff like Arch but it requires a lot of work since you need to lock a nice set of packages and...

Thanks for the info. I highly value your work on the OSS drivers so don't get me wrong, it's just that I'm getting a bit frustrated by not being able to use a 2 year old gfx card on linux properly...

IIRC the latest Mesa already supports OpenGL 2.0. Is there any ETA as to when ATI radeon and radeonhd driver will support openGL 2.0? It's becoming a real PITA not being able to have shaders in 3D...

According to the bug link you posted this has been fixed. I read all the comments but am unsure in which part was the bug..

What do I need from trunk to get this fixed? The xorg driver, the libdrm...

I'm using the .30 kernel with latest dev versions of radeon driver (mesa and all). Everything works nice except Blender which has some issues with the menu items. I get them all blank in the main...

libglu1-mesa-dev package seems to be out of sync in the repositories posted. It seems to depend on a different version of libglu1-mesa package and it blocks a whole bucket of dev libs for me (namely...

I've used all the additional stuff (compiled the kernel 2.6.30-4.5 from that karmic link, basically didn't touch the config tho).

Everything works fine, except e.g: glxgears. I get them going and...

I just wanted to share some findings and see if anyone else has these problems. Recently I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 with Ext4 (to see how it goes). For my thesis I have a classification...

Nothing like that. I'm on xfce 4.6 with compositor turned off and other GL stuff works "fine" (e.g: xmoto, GL1.5+ and shader stuff is obviously broken). No idea why eschalon has this problem :(
