But what I remember is that this was not the case in recent years
(until last October, that is). Some years back when ATI announced the
release of the specs, there was a lot of hype about ATI supporting the
Linux community etc., but the actual specs were released only for
low-end, obsolete cards. This was very disappointing, and that
situation was perpetuated for a while. For example, the Radeon HD
family of cards was not supported by the open-source driver for quite a
while, and there were a lot of problems with the then-experimental
radeonhd driver. It was useless, and I had to install the fglrx driver
on several Fedora (Core) releases to get 3D support. And it was always a
major pain.
I admit being out of the loop recently, I wasn't aware that ATI came
completely straight last year. :-)
so, what should I install? I removed the catalyst software using the
uninstall.sh and now have the radeon driver in xorg.conf. At least now I
can move windows around without a lag.. should I install fglrx drivers?
