For instance, the Temple of Elemental Evil runs fine with fglrx, but with open-source driver even the main menu is unplayably slow (say, 1-2 FPS at it's best). > > My xorg.conf section for the open-source driver looks like this: > > > Code: > Section "Device" > Identifier "** ATI Radeon (generic) [radeon]" > Driver "radeon" I thought the radeon driver supports 3D only to the R200 series and that the r300 driver is needed for the R300 - R500 cards.. (And RadeonHD for >= R500) (I see you report that direct rendering shows OK though...) The open source Radeon drivers seem to be relatively undocumented, with almost every source saying something else... http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R300_Portal > VideoRam 65536 > # Option "RenderAccel" "on" > Option "AGPMode" "4" > Option "ColorTiling" "on" > Option "AccelMethod" "XXA" > Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" > Option "AGPFastWrite" "False" > Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "True" > Option "BackingStore" "True" > Option "DynamicClocks" "on" > EndSection > > > > glxinfo reports that direct rendering is OK, and glxgears show about 2800 FPS (with fglrx they never show over 2950 FPS, so I guess the driver should be ok, and the acceleration should work fine). > > Can anyone help me get something more decent out of Wine? > Many thanks! >
