Proprietary vs Open source drivers w/ Laptop Testing

2011-03-28 Thread Andrew Barilla
I have a newer ATI card in my laptop which doesn't have adequate 3d acceleration. Unity runs fine but Minecraft will only get 6-15fps. ATI's proprietary drivers still don't work with Xorg 1.1 so this question is moot for Natty, but if I'm testing Maverick which drivers should I test? Or should I
