My experience with my first and only ATI video card (a Mobility Radeon |
| 6 |
9700), is that the opensource drivers for my chipset are basically |
| 7 |
useless for anything 3D. Slow, corrupt graphics, freezing the |
| 8 |
computer. The ati-drivers/fglrx was several times faster and much more |
| 9 |
stable. |

Unfortunately, ATI removed support for my card from their drivers in |
| 12 |
2009, leaving me no choice but to use the OSS driver unless I want to |
| 13 |
downgrade my system to use kernel 2.6.28 or earlier. |
