Don't use the open source driver.
Only to the sadists and masochists who run lunix.... oh... wait.....Moving to xp would be downgrade.
Sure it is. Linux is fated to fail epically. Its been what... 10 years now, and Linux still hasn't managed to snare 1% of the market from Other, less sadomasochistic operating systems that contain the majority of runtime required.This is not solution.
Now this is surprising.... a Linux user who can't spell incompatible...... Like PsyMan has said, this is a Vendor issue, and its nothing thats going to change. ATI cards are not made with Linux in mind, they follow the money, and the money is with Windows, as even the Official Linux driver fails with numerous opengl extensions.If they are uncompatible please atleast add this to documentation.
Sorry to drag this further off topic, but..Sure it is. Linux is fated to fail epically. Its been what... 10 years now, and Linux still hasn't managed to snare 1% of the market from Other, less sadomasochistic operating systems that contain the majority of runtime required.
