If you have a radeon 9200 or bellow I recomend the opendri driver over the ati drivers they work alot better( dri.sourceforge.net) and don't crash anywhere near as often. (No Triangle hell in UT2004).
Well the there was no hw 3d accell with those opendri modules that came with 9.1 The kernel dri modules did however. And I have no triangle hell etc.
However some apps most noteably ut2004 need to be run in 16bit texture mode and have the texture detail set to normal or low (character details also benefits from being set to low).
Ah well, I found that running X in 24bit made the system freeze in 60 secs when running a fullscreen 3d app. So switching back to 16 bit and all is ok. I was also trying to run racer. But that one remains awfully slow. How can that one be more demanding than ut2004 is beyond me. BB, Arjen
