With all my plasma hangs i'm thinking of changing to a radeon as my current card is an old geforce210. Does anyone have any advice about a Radeon HD 5450 - cheap as chips at the moment - but will it work okay with the opensource radeon drivers? A full fat graphics card is not necessary for the stuff i do.
I have 2 PCs with HD5450 and one with GF210. I don't notice any performance difference among them whether using nouveau, radeon or modesetting drivers. I spend little time using Plasma, more in TDE and KDE3, and disable all the bling that's practical and easy to do. Since discovering the modesetting driver it is mostly what I use whether with ATI, Intel or NVidia gfxchips. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
