so, do the official ATI Linux drivers actually work?

i have a 9700 Pro and was wondering if the official drivers actually provided hardware 3d accel?

Sure they work.


People have gotten them to work, I don't know how hard it is to install them or anything, though.

Depends if you have a KT400 board or not. If you do you are going to need to jump through some hoops first.

Yep they work. I get 8000 fps in gears.

Work fine for me, but using multiple X sessions = hard freeze

New drivers are due out sometime this week, dont know if it will fix the multiple x session bug

I think they should fix the plain old hard freeze I'm experiencing whenever I play any 3d game (except chromium). They could also fix 640x480 on my Dell P1110 (just displays garbage).

Other than those two problems, they are ok.

^^640x480 breaks for me unless i use the right modeline. experiment with modeline generators and whatnot
