Last time I tried to use AMD's open source driver, it worked well for |
| 12 |
office applications and minor OpenGL (glxgears, desktop effects, etc.) |
| 13 |
but it couldn't play a DVD on full screen (1920 * x) without frame |
| 14 |
drops. (Yes, I tried tuning parameters with mplayer2). |

Intel's driver works well enough for this but it doesn't have much head |
| 17 |
room, either. |

ATI's closed source driver works pretty well, too, nowadays. I had |
| 20 |
trouble with xorg-server-1.12 but haven't investigated it, yet. |
