Nvidia has been far better at supporting GNU/Linux than ATI or AMD, for marketing, commercial etc internal politics reasons: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Graphics_drivers_configuration#A_note_on_free_drivers http://wiki.flightgear.org/Problematic_video_cards > So, i suppose, though you're satisfied w/ the > speed of your games, i suppose, that have ye installed the bond > drivers, the speed/quality of picture would be far higher than you > enjoy now. > > So, my question is fo now, Are there any plans on packageing the fglrx > driver for the old ATI cards. ..no, neither here or over at Debian.org, AFAICT. https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary#wheezy-legacy https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary https://packages.debian.org/search?&keywords=fglrx ..could be politics, e.g. squeezing AMD out on its opinion on systemd?: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#gnome-fglrx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_graphics_device_driver#ATI/AMD ..your best shot is look for legacy drivers at https://www.amd.com/en/support ..maybe you are the right guy to write an install wrapper script that picks the best proprietary driver from https://www.amd.com/en/support for any ATI/AMD card? ..e.g. side by side, with the free driver on display 0:0 and fglrx on 0:1, or run the free driver in runlevel 2 like now and put fglrx on runlevel 3 and hop between them with "init 3" and "init 2" etc, or add a runlevel 3 fglrx or nvidia boot stanza for every current free driver boot stanza in the grub menu, so we can get the frame rate race going again. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
