This is a sad read. I've read some similar complaints on the wine buglist were they're complaining about the lack of shader support on fglrx.
Dont know AMD's stand on this point, but wouldn't it be in their interest to fix this ? My last two motherboards have had integrated AMD Radeon HD gfx chips (HD 3200, HD 4290) and more will be coming with all this Fusion thingy on it's way. It's just plain [bs]ad that they wont be supported. / Ingi >> Best wishes, >> Dennis Heuer<[email protected]> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K >> The only unified storage solution that offers unified management >> Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient. >> Guaranteed. http://p.sf.net/sfu/emc-vnx-dev2dev >> _______________________________________________ >> enlightenment-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users >> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
