Hi! JFYI ----- Forwarded message from Jacek Poplawski ----- Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 21:01:13 +0200 From: Jacek Poplawski To: DRI developer's list Subject: results of Radeon 9800 Pro test Hi, I removed fglrx from my system yesterday. I was using it to initialize my Radeon 9800 Pro before (old DRI driver crashed without that). Then I installed new drivers, and I tested following applications: Blender - at least one problem - selection rendering (BKEY), this happens with many drivers (like mga), but it was working correctly last time on r300, step backward? Celestia - OK cube - fallbacks to software rendering Emilia Pinball - OK Enemy Teritorry - OK foobillard - OK (but fallbacks to software if I turn on reflections) galaxymage - OK glest - refuses to start (Exception: Your system supports OpenGL version " 1.2 (1.3 Mesa 6.5.1)" Glest needs at least version 1.3 to work) globulation2 - OK (it crashed system on old drivers) lincity-ng - OK mplayer - OK (with xv, gl, gl2) Neverball - OK ppracer - OK Quake2 - OK (but dlopen bug requires LD_PRELOAD) sauerbraten - fallbacks to software rendering Scorched3D - OK (max details) S.C.O.U.R.G.E. - OK sturmbahnfahrer - OK vamos - works, but many textures are missing (maybe that's an application problem) warzone - OK xmoto - OK I was unable to crash the system at all, however, I haven't tried to run more than two OpenGL contexts yet (because I need to change Xorg.conf for that). I think that it is safe to say that Radeon 9800 Pro works stable and r300 driver is the best OpenGL implementation I ever seen in Linux (much more stable than radeon, r200 or voodoo3, much more correct than mga or i810 and of course much more free than propertiary drivers). I hope that PCI-E cards are working great, too. I will check it within next few weeks. Test System: ATI Radeon 9800PRO NH (AGP) AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ 768MB RAM Arch Linux xorg-server 1.1.1, xf86-video-ati 6.6.2, libdrm 2.0.2, mesa 6.5.1rc1, kernel26 2.6.17.8 PS. Is there any open source application which uses true 3D bump-mapping? Is it working on r300? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
