I'm using Radeon VIVO 64MB in 8.2 and can't complain... Thus I had get ati2 drivers from http://gatos.sourceforge.net and install them after instructions...Haven't tested much with games but Return to castle of wolfenstein seems to work fine... And here's my "glxgears" Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 4465 frames in 5.0 seconds = 893.000 FPS 4932 frames in 5.0 seconds = 986.400 FPS 4933 frames in 5.0 seconds = 986.600 FPS 4933 frames in 5.0 seconds = 986.600 FPS 4919 frames in 5.0 seconds = 983.800 FPS So not bad?
