All the old drivers are fully reverse engineered... ******* Just a note for all, as some folks miss this on the DRI site: For real drivers///3d Radeon: XF4.1.0+, AND kernel 2.4.10> NVidia: Same suggested, get drivers from NVidia V3/3500/4/5: Same, 16BPP is the ONLY HW 3d mode. I also STRONGLY suggest X -configure, and anaconda under RH7.1/7.2b/rawhide to get a good starting config. The Rawhide binaries for XF4.1.0 work fine under 7.1, just make sure you get all the deps, like libgcc. You MAY need to recompile a lot of stuff to ensure complete reliability... or you may not. YMMV. Or wait for RH7.2. ***** (In response to:) Message: 2 From: "Kevin Regan" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 15:36:39 -0500 Subject: [Newbie]Blurry ATI drivers? Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have run RedHat Linux 7.1 on two different PCs, one with an ATI Rage XL, and the other with a ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2X. On both machines, the display seemed very blurry. With Windows 98 running on these machines, the text was crips and clear. In addition, I just talked to a friend running Red Hat 6.1 and he has the same issue. However, when he used an nVidia card, the text was clear for Linux. Has anyone else notice blurry performance with ATI cards running under XFree86? I am currently using 4.0.3, but could upgrade to 4.1 if that would help. As a side note, what would cause video driver software to run the ATI card blurry? Is this something that is commonly seen while developing drivers? Sincerely, Kevin Regan p.s.
