I post this more or less for the Google Spiders..... I don't know what happened to the community Radeon drivers for legacy ATI cards but whatever it was is pretty amazing. I can't remember a time when it worked better on my legacy X1400 (dell 9400) laptop, even when it was supported by the ATI proprietary drivers. I've been using the version from this Repository (opensuse 12.3 x86_64) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_12.3/ In the past there were problems with resume, switching from a text terminal, and stuttering music if the KDE Desktop effects were turned on, and gaming was hopeless. Switching to that repository fixed all the problems but still required desktop effects to be off or sound would sometimes stutter. Just for a test, after several recent updates to that repository, I tried ALL of the above at the same time, Full KDE bling, Streaming music, and a quake engine FPS game. It was awesome. Almost Flawless. Just the slightest (barely perceptible) temporary stutter in the music upon returning from a console, or resuming from suspend. Within 15 seconds all perfect. I still see not much point in running the bling, but its nice to have the community drivers up to the task. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
