Last I checked they both work out-of-the-box just as well.
If you mean witch is easier to get hardware acceleration on, I'd have to say nVidia.

This seems very interesting.

I just wanted to know how would this increase performance? I would think running another X server would use up more ram. If thats not the case then awesome. \\:D/

YEA! I knew there was something wrong. HDPARM doesnt work on some motherboards because of the missing module. Thanks man. My nforce2 can now use it by adding the amd74xx just like you said. Thanks...

No problem. I *hear* ATI should release their new drivers in september. They would most likely have support for the 2.6.12 kernels and the xorg that will be out by then. Once those come out I will...

Okay people. Some of you are asking questions that I have already answerd. :neutral:
Please either use the forum search or read the whole thread.

If all else fails use the drivers in the...

Breezy fixed this issue btw. But once agian very good fix for Horay users. :)

F*cking AWESOME!
I didnt even know that was possible. \\:D/ But then agian everything is possible with linux.
That is very VERY neat. Thanks for that cool and neat tut.

Ones I added so far....

Remove the compositing line...
And remove this line

Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
These drivers dont require that line to be stated.
...

Yes! it also applies to wine. :-P

Thanks. When i wanted to install it on another pc I had to use my key. Problem was i lost the sheet that goes with the cd case. Thanks man!! :grin:

Do Follow these insturctions

That should help.

Do this.

For those that seem to get a good install but cant load the moduels. Do the following.

***NOTE: Where you see 2.6.10-5-686 replace it with your running kernel. If you do not know run "uname -r"...

These drivers allow for on the fly resolution changes in the kde control panel. Dont know if it works in the gnome display properties since I dont use gnome anymore. [-X

Updated the how to! It works! And these drivers are ALOT better. Screensavers dont use as much memory. Racer is smoother and so is quake3 :-P

I'll be installing the newest drivers. I'll post a howto when Im done. If it works.

I'll be using the installer :smile:

WOHOO!!!
Finally they are out! YAY!
I couldn't be happier. Thanks for posting this man. :)

I've been reading up on these drivers in other forums aswell. And they are having problems with the newest Xorg and the 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels. Make sure you are yousing Hoary and are using the...

Awesome! Thanks for this how-to. I used kde and did use that script. It was nice. Its good to see it in Gnome aswell. :grin:

Please install your linux headers and build-essential
I dont get the errors some people get. I never get them. I've installed them 3 times. On 3 different computers and never have I got a problem. ...

WOW. How did this get past my dirty fingers! :roll:

Awesome man. No problems what-so-ever. CVS builds are alot faster than crossover office. :razz: :D And you can play games in wine. Just...

Please add them back. Please. Azurues uses about 300 megs on my computer. I think these packages can decrease the amount of memory it uses.

When using the drivers you have to edit change your screen resolution by editing your X.Org config file.

Do you have your kernel headers? I mean the right ones. The ones for your 64bit kernel. :neutral:

I really dont know how some people get errors. Ati's site offers very limited documentation on...

I did this while having the drivers from the repository installed. And it worked without any problems.

Thanks for this man. Im currently using it. It is much better than anyother plugin. With this I can Fullscreen trialers :D

Does your device section have the following option?

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
