ATI Drivers and RH9

No_Style · Apr 7, 2003, 02:51 AM

The ATI Drivers for Linux are made for older versions of libc, XFree86 and glibc. Being a complete newb to Linux, how would these drivers work with RH9 which contain the newer versions of those files.

so far they wouldn't work. Ati has basically said screw the linux community. They have released one driver so far for linux, never updated the page, based off of drivers for the firegl for god sake. Ati's support for linux is piss poor. Good luck ever getting the driver to work with rh9.

I just used RH9's default drivers. RTCW's FPS is approx half of what it is usually on Win XP
