That's true, indeed. On my hardware (Radeon 8500 and 9250), the DVI connector never worked with the proprietary driver and fgl_glxgears has been showing just a blue cube for the past year or so. > Are there features, the free drivers > cannot provide, but the proprietary can? I think I still can't play Doom 3 with the X.Org driver, and if you think it's evil to use fglrx just for a game, what would you think if I used Windows just for a game? Never mind that Doom 3 itself is not free software; games like that are still one of the top 5 reasons why I own a computer in the first place. -- Ciao, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
