I'm sorry, but i have to desagree with you. If you own a card BUILD by ati you can, you couldn't because the old drivers didn't support texture compression (or something like that), but the new drivers already support it, you can play ut2003 in linux without nvidia. > will play only on an Nvidia graphics card and that is neither the fault > of XFree86 group or ATI.

How about nvidia? they don't build cards, i can't imagine how many different third party's build nvidia cards, but if i download nvidia drivers i am sure that my card will work ok in linux. Why is ati different? I just want to go to ati site, download the drivers, install them, load urban terror and play! Am i asking too much? :-| > There are several people getting those third party boards because they > are cheaper, but basically you get what you pay for and you should stick > with the "built by ATI", rather than the "powered by ATI" right now. I got a gigabyte radeon 9000pro because in my country (Portugal) since radeon VE that there aren't BUILD by ati cards! I didn't had a choice....
