I've given up playing games for a while, mainly because of the bad drivers for my card. But i've swapped it for a nvidia card recently and i've got enough free time to test this game out. I'm a big...

I decided to try the new ati driver(8.8) on Debian, but after a few X11 restarts the kernel module magically becomes "corrupt" and there's no acceleration, and if i reinstall the driver the...

I also had that problem in Ubuntu. In Mandriva i have a similar problem in WoW, i can only see the textures in OpenGl(no models) mode with wine 1.0 . In Directx it works perfectly, except for the...

I think it isn't the driver that's causing the problems, it's the distro. I've tried the driver on OpenSuse, Slackware and Zenwalk and it works perfectly.

Well i'm not using any Micro$hit products for like 3 years now, i see 3D desktops in Mandriva are kind of buggy so i disabled Compiz(that was the cause for the white sreen). Ok so i noticed that...

After a restart the screen turned white, kde started ok since i heard the sounds from pidgin. But i can't see anything.

What should i do?

It finally works on Mandriva :D, but the 2D acceleration is kind of raw compared to RadeonHD. I got about 1k frames in fgl_glxgears which is good considering fgl_glxgears is somewhat a real...

Ok so i uploaded the log here because of the board's post character limit.
From what i saw in there it only detects 256 of 512 MB, it's loading some kind of vesa driver, and it says something about...

I guess i have the devel installed since ( modprobe fglrx ) works.

Of course i did that, i'm not that stupid... I did a clean install of Mandriva 2008.1 Free today and there's still no acceleration(using the drivers from the repository).

Note: I have the XT...

The package that Mandriva provides for the 8.493 version of the driver is availible on the backports repository. However after i install that package there is no acceleration at all(2D or 3D). Anyway...

Well anyway i got rid of ubuntu(too slow for me) and installed Mandriva 2008 Spring FREE, and i'm stuck to using the radeonhd driver since fglrx(8.493.1) has no 2D/3D acceleration on this...

I've installed Ubuntu Hardy and when i try to play Quake Wars the screen just start's blinking like hell. And i don't know why but it detects my card as having 128 MB instead of 512 MB. What should i...

By the way RadeonHD now supports DRI for R500 GPU's and R600 acceleration should be finished in a couple of months.

Well i guess bad habits never go away(like testing a card with glxgears), but what "modern" benchmark(on linux) should i try to test my video card?

Hello, i've bought a HD 2600 XT 512 MB, and using Catalyst 8.5 on a 2.6.25 kernel on Debian i got 4000 FPS in glxgears(not fgl_glxgears) which is really poor. I got the same result with my old, dusty...
