OK, but, I had it working (ati-drivers) but had no graphics |
| 19 |
acceleration. So I got greedy and tried new things. Since |
| 20 |
then I cannot seem to recover those steps to the point |
| 21 |
where the ati-drivers worked but no acceleration. This is bad |
| 22 |
and most of the docs are old. |

If I wanted to go back to the radeon driver it was blurred |
| 25 |
and the fonts, unfocused. bzflag would run very slowly. |

I wish I could just recover to the ati-drivers that work |
| 29 |
without 3D.... |

I also ran across a wiki about how ati-drivers 8.24.8 was the last |
| 32 |
ati-drivers binary that the 3D actually worked. There was a detailed |
| 33 |
set of instructions for installing ati-drivers-8.24.8 as an |
| 34 |
overlay, but, I cannot find that link now. |
