i have a emachines m5310 that has a ati igp 320m |
| 2 |
it does work fine in linux it has some accerlated 3d |
| 3 |
but from what i hear its missing some compression thing that reduces |
| 4 |
the amount of stuff that has to be transfered from ram which helps |
| 5 |
with large textures i guess and it does show in celestia |
| 6 |
it is better with 'accelerated 3d' than with software gl anyhow |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
dont expect to play ut2k3 in linux lets put it that way for now |
| 9 |
(somewhat playable in xp with latest drivers btw) |
