Im trying to wrap my head around where ATI stand with 3D support:


I understand they released documentation to assist the open development
of ATI 2D/3D drivers. The open drivers are not mmaintained by ATI, they
are just managed by free software developers (which ATI then calls third
party).

ATI have also released closed versions of drivers, its not clear /to me/
if these have 3D support. Also only available as RPM's.
DRI open drivers have 3D support.

Okay has anyone compared these, or noticed differences. For me Nvidia
drivers work well for me (Wolfenstein ET and America's Army work
flawlessly). A debian list post wanted me to learn a bit more about ATI,
also most laptops have ATI chips (Ill get one, one day).

Basically, how /good/ are the open ATI (DRI) drivers ?
