Title: Issue with ATI linux and Java
Post by: Freejack on September 05, 2011, 09:19:58 AM
Found an issue at the moment on Linux with ATI and java. I asked pspeed why it ran so poorly, well it's not anything wrong with the game appears to be with the ATI linux drivers. Does it in Runescape and a couple of other linux java tests I ran like bang. No to see if AMD/ATI fixes this.

Hopefully.  Their support of OpenGL has been a lot better the past few years... not quite up to nVidia levels maybe but certainly better than the "OpenG-what?" type of response from several years ago.

I wonder what the specific issue is.

Opengl is great i run Regnum and PLaneshift and they both work great. It works alot a better than my first Sager laptop with ATI and Linux. It actually loads and gives me the catalyst center.

Yeah, it's clear ATI is trying.  5 or 6 years ago or more their OpenGL support was laughable.

That's why the JME guys always stress the importance of updating drivers, especially with ATI.  Gotta have the latest fixes. :)

Ok new ATI linux driver downloaded and installed. Appears to make some difference. Will have to do some testing. I know I can play several opengl games it was just the java so more testing.

Grr.
I also hate ATI, I used one of their graphics cards, and I couldn't run a game from 1995.
