Burned Out (burneddi) wrote : Some games using 3D-acceleration don't work on Jaunty with ATI chipsets

Some games (Seen people have this problem with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Warsow, and a few other games) don't run at all on Ubuntu 9.04 with the Radeon driver (Might concern other drivers for Radeon cards too).

When trying to Enemy Territory it didn't launch at all, instead screen went black for a second or so and my resolution was set to 800x600.

Running through console printed this:

The game ran fine on 8.10 with my ATI Radeon 8500 card using the "radeon" driver. Same driver on 9.04 didn't work. glxinfo | grep render said that direct rendering is on.

"Fixed" this by reinstalling to 8.10, would be nice to have this working in 9.04.
