Hello, This is my first post in SLUG, :) though I did attend one SLUG meeting, The one a couple of months back when you couldn't get the projector working, But I havent been able to attend since due to casual work :(
Anyway, On to my question. A friend of mine has an ATI Radeon SDR, and it performs fantastically in Windows [im sorry, you will see why I had to mention windows in a second :) ] but when he came over the other night we attempted to get Quake 3 working in Linux. I got DRI and GLX loaded etc, recompiled the kernel with AGPART support and Radeon support, went to load Quake 3 and it performed like crap :( In windows he gets ~70 FPS at 1024, in Linux he gets ~30 at 800, both medium detail. I know Quake 3 can perform well in Linux casue I have it running in linux better than I ever remember having it run in Windows. [though I use the NVidia binary drivers] Kernel is 2.4.9, X version 4.1.0, Does anyone else have the Radeon working nicely? I have searched the web, and found some articles offering tips, but nothing that really worked. Looked through LinuxQuestions.org [i think thats it] and linuxnewbie.org and even linuxdoc.org.. There must be someone out there with a radeon and a wining solution on how you can get it to play nice with Q3? Oh btw we applied point release 1.3 aswell.. no difference..
