So:

  • The radeonhd driver is now doing hardware 3D acceleration, but not at any reasonable speed.
  • The radeon driver is now doing hardware 3D acceleration, but leaves some odd graphics artefacts at times (even 2D), and has enough performance to run googlearth, but not to run doom3.

(This is with a Radeon Mobility X1400).

I need to test the one on case (Radeon R850XT).

And before anyone says “use fglrx”, I don’t use proprietary drivers.

And before anyone says “use Nvidia”, I don’t use proprietary drivers, and from what I’ve seen, ATI has the better free drivers.
