Xfree 4.3

[Ottbr]

Given XFree 4.3 has support(CVS) for M9, what is the advantage of using the ATI drivers, do these provide better performance even given they are made for the desktop?

I have never gotten the ATI drivers to work, but I haven't tried recently, either.

Of course, I would happily use the ATI, after consideration, if I can avoid having to compile DRI-CVS!

It takes forever ;)

Hey, i have built the latest 4.3.0 version of XFree86, and have tried the 3d support with the DRI modules coming with it.

Differences:
--Well, the performances are similar, maybe little less for X 4.3.0, compare to 4.2.1 with the ati official proprietary drivers, 10 FPS or so lower in FPS games. But increased stability as the ati driver tend to crash on me when i alternate X and console. Great to see open source support...

Try it...cvs or tarball dll from xfree site. But that requires building in ( compiling it by hand ). Soon will be integrated in major distro...........

Great......:banana: :banana: :banana:
