[Dri-users] S3TC texture compression ATI Cards

[Charlie G. <ch...@cg...>]

Hi

            When will S3TC texture compression be supported under Linux
with ATI cards? I wanted to try out the demo of UT 2003 in Linux but
found that the only cards that were supported were NVIDIA. I am not very
keen on NVIDIA cards as the only decent drivers are closed source. I
currently own a ATI Rage 128, I am looking to purchase a new card but
want one with decent 3d support in Linux. Can anybody make any
suggestions?

 

Thank you
