Problems With OEM ATI Cards And ATI's Linux Driver

Posted by timothy on from the workaround-workaround dept.

Doug Bostrom writes "Over at FlightGear.org, Andy Ross describes how ATI's new Linux drivers only seem to work with "official" ATI cards (made by ATI), why that does not make sense, and a possible fix that unfortunately would mean booting Windows, if only for a few minutes."

  1. I've been hearing about bad ATI drivers... by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 4, Funny


    I've been hearing about bad ATI drivers since the days of the 80386. I've had some severe problems with ATI drivers myself, and needed to call ATI tech support. My impression is that the company should not allow receptionists to write drivers when they are not answering phones.

    My answer: For business use, buy Matrox.
