Last time I tried to use AMD's open source driver, it worked well for office applications and minor OpenGL (glxgears, desktop effects, etc.) but it couldn't play a DVD on full screen (1920 * x) without frame drops. (Yes, I tried tuning parameters with mplayer2). Intel's driver works well enough for this but it doesn't have much head room, either. ATI's closed source driver works pretty well, too, nowadays. I had trouble with xorg-server-1.12 but haven't investigated it, yet. Regards, Florian Philipp
