Me again,
Here's the rundown...
With the main DRI branch, the original Radeon has no problems with
any of the GL apps and games I have. This includes all the xscreensaver
GL apps, the Mesa demos and the following games: tuxracer, gltron, Heretic
2, Heavy Gear 2, Parsec, Rune, Unreal Tournament, Quake3Arena, and Tribes.
I have some other games (Terminus, Soldier of Fortune, and a few others),
but haven't had a chance to test with those.
With the man DRI branch, the Radeon 7500 has no problems with any
of the above *except* tribes2 and Quake3Arena, both of which lock up
within a few minutes of starting.
With the TCL branch, the original Radeon has no *major* problems
with any of the above except for tuxracer (which segfaults as soon as I
load a course) and Parsec (which locks up). Some of the other games have
slight rendering issues (trees will not render completely in Rune
depending on the angle your looking at them from, etc.) I can go into
detail about those issues, but that could end up being a really large
list.
With the TCL branch, the Radeon 7500 has *major* rendering issues,
as I outlined in a previous e-mail to the list. Just in case, I've
confirmed that the issues still exist in the TCL branch tonight that I
experienced earlier in the week.
Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 7500 just a
speed boosted version of the original Radeon, with the same 2D and 3D
core?
