Well, I just got done with some brief Return to Castle Wolfenstein testing...
First off, it looks gorgeous. I'm running 1024x768, with all options set to their most taxing, and everything runs nice and buttery smooth. At this point, I'm still using the open-source radeon driver (still haven't made it around to making ATI's own driver work w/XF86 4.3). Now for the bad news. Everything went kaput about 10-15 minutes into playing a small (1v1) LAN game (made it through the map 1x, then crashola part way through the second time). I was serving, and all of a sudden, my screen just locked up and the client machine showed up with a network connectivity error. However, this time I was able to ssh in and reboot the machine (an improvement over UT2K3). Since one quick test isn't absolute, I'll try again for a bit. Looks good, but again, anything that locks the system up like that is a bad thing. And I still haven't had a chance to try ATI's driver. For reference, here is a bit more detail on my system specs: -Tyan Thunder K7 motherboard -2x Athlon MP 2000+ processors -2x 512MB DDR-266 ECC RAM -SoundBlaster PCI512 -ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB -Red Hat Linux 8.0.94, with kernel 2.4.20-2.54smp, XFree86 4.3.0-2.1 As always, your mileage may vary greatly from mine, since chances are most people don't have exact same setup. On with the tweaking, and I'll continue to update people on my progress... -- Jarod Wilson, RHCE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "A wise man once said nothing at all" -- -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
