Re: radeon driver capabilites (opengl)

Hi,

I just switched from fglrx (proprietary) to radeon (open source). I'm
impressed how good and easy-to-use the driver is (Especially if you deal
with multiple displays..)

I have a Radeon Mobility X600.

There is one thing that I don't know yet: Is OpenGL Hardware Accelleration
possible? Can I use AIGLX (I think not with my model)?

the open source radeon driver only supports hardware acceleration for
older ati cards, basically 9500 and older. If you want hardware
acceleration for your x600 you will have to use the fglrx driver, and
fight with multiple displays.


XV works - but not on tv-out. (Video is black). Is not mandatory because
even xshm works well but would be nice. Did someone manage it?


Never messed with tv out, so no info for you on this.
