ATI-nonfree linux drivers / Texture bug is gone for older Radeon cards - ATI did a good Job (nearly completed)

Dear listmembers,
to whom it might concern:
Users of Radeon 9200 and (haven't tested yet, but assume will be the same
result) Radeon 8500, (9250? 9100?) should upgrade to the latest 8.24.8
release of ATI-drivers.
The texture displaying bug has vanished! May be verified by playing tux-cart
or TORCS. All older drivers do not show the textures correctly.
Remaining bug(s): on my big display modes are being written into xorg.conf
that cannot be displayed.
*** DO NOT TEST THE SETUP AFTER CONFIGURATION WITH SAX2. ***
*** YOUR MONITOR MIGHT GET DAMAGED. ***
Save configuration without test and reduce the "Modes" to:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"
EndSection
Tested on SuSE 9.3 (yes folks, I still use it :-))) ). Will be identical for
10.0 and 10.1 IMHO.
Take care
Dieter Jurzitza

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
with constant spacing like courier! :-)
