I was just refering to something more heavy than an Opengl screensaver. I |
| 18 |
guess UT2K4 falls in that category. |

I don't say you have to but if I were you I would: |

Is there a specific reason you suggest the Radeon driver from the kernel and |
| 30 |
not from the ebuild? AFAIK, the one you can emerge is more up to date most |
| 31 |
of the time. |

But, I'll give it a try, I'm really getting tired of this. If the DRM driver |
| 34 |
really works as good as you say, I will be glad to drop ati-drivers! |
