Most of the systems I'm using UMS as otherwise 3D doesn't work or there are some other problems. I think one of them is running KMS as that works a bit better on that system with what I or the other users do. It's all a bit hit and miss as to what applications works best with what settings. > >> There are also graphics artefacts occasionally. > > I'm curious what type of artifacts you see, and when/where you see them. > I get artifacts only in Google Earth (running it with software rendering > solves it, but is much too slow to use).

Some square areas when repainted seem to have a horizontal tearing as if a bit-blt had the wrong xstep value. One of the others seems to not repaint square areas occasionally. 3D rendering is variable especially on the performance side. In general, as far as I am concerned, although ATI graphics works to a degree its all a bit shaky and quite dependent of the specific chipset, card and applications you use. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
