I remember back when AMD had both closed and open drivers and, having trouble with the proprietary drivers, I switched to the OSS version. It was NIGHT AND DAY.

I remember back when AMD had both closed and open drivers and, having trouble with the proprietary drivers, I switched to the OSS version. It was NIGHT AND DAY. Games that would crash and had weird oddities now ran smooth with higher frame rates. A lot of weird video issues, especially those that come from running more than one X server or Xnest, all went away. I would only use AMD cards in my Linux boxes. The nvidia drivers/cards pale in comparison.
