Working video cards in 3D on Slackware 12.0.0 Slackware 12.0.0 (kernel: 2.6.21.5-smp) by ArTourter (3):

requires ATI/AMD proprietary drivers which install without problems from version 8.37.6 onwards

Had to install the ATI driver to get “BigDesktop” to work properly. We can only wish ATI would opensource their video drivers.

There is no support of Compiz and we need to install ATI driver for graphic 's acceleration.

Works only with VESA driver. Ati drivers (version 8.39.4) do not work properly with F7.
