I'm not a KDE user, but I do have the ATI Radeon HD series card in my system. Problem with this card is that currently Catalyst driver doesn't work with the latest Xorg releases (xorg-server to be precise) and the open-source drivers provide no support for accelerated 3D. If latest KDE requires latest xorg-server as someone pointed out earlier, then KDE does leave you no choice other than giving up accelerated 3D. I don't really know how this could be relevant for Scribus, though. I use the latest Xorg release here with no 3D, and Scribus doesn't mind it. -- Branko Vukeli? http://foxbunny.tumblr.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/16889956 at N04/ http://www.twitter.com/foxbunny
