When I replaced my Mythtv backend/living-room-frontend, I couldn’t resist the dirt-cheap AMD/ATI HDMI motherboard/CPU combo. No regrets – it plays 1080p great – even though I have to deal with ATI rather than smooth-as-silk nVidia drivers. In setting up StepMania and MythTV (and etc.) to use OpenGL, I had a few hoops to jump through, including…
- gentoo requires recompile of [ati-drivers] after kernel bumps
- gentoo required VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf
- [eselect opengl set ati]
- to get fluxbox and opengl and ati playing well: [aticonfig –ovt opengl]
- also see http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fglrx
Upwards and onwards…
