Gaming With The Open-Source R500 Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| From the release of Mesa 7.1 Release Candidate 1 to Multi-Pointer X being
| merged to master to the R500 3D milestone, it's been an exciting past 24
| hours for the X.Org community. With the open-source 3D support for the Radeon
| X1000 "R500" GPUs now reaching a parity with the Mesa support for earlier ATI
| Radeon product families, more Linux users can now consider turning to an
| open-source driver (xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd) for their video
| driver needs. In this article we are looking at what Linux games work thanks
| to this latest Mesa R500 support.

Everything is going very well. All Microsoft can do now is throw wrenches.

| After some recent work today, Compiz is now working on R500 graphics cards
| using the open-source xf86-video-ati and the latest Mesa git. In addition,
| the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo is even running! There is now parity between
| the open-source R500 3D support and the level of Mesa support for the older
| R200/300/400 generations! This is one hell of a milestone.
