The present 2.6 kernel is moving very fast, and especially things like AGP that the fglrx driver uses heavily, are changing abruptly. So, ATI, get this message: Try to provide a driver that doesn’t relies so heavily on kernel code. I thought, lets see how ati fares.Īt install, the driver complained about symbol not found in my running kernel, figured out i had to patch it, did so, and made em work apart that any call to OpenGL will result in an X crash ( Sig 11 ).
I don’t really care to who my money goes as long as i get a lasting reliable and easy enough set up.Ī month ago, i bought a desktop bundle that came with a X300 128 meg PCIE ( desktop and non mobile as the one of the article).
Of Course, i have since then by pure sanity switched to nvidia ( even if i am not impressed at the harware YUV controls being removed from the 6XXX and 7XXX cards, Nvidia, please think of people watching videos on their computers ! ). I remember having to always patch em once or twice and depending the kernel i was running, it was just simply impossible.Īt those time, it was a radeon mobility 9000. Ok, the fglrx drivers do come from a long way.
