Solved: 9 Years, 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago RE: [solved]Screwed graphics

Have you installed the libtxc_dxtn library from here http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/S3TC ?

Unfortunately because software patents the open source Mesa can not completely implement all the functionality needed for current games "legally". Though you should "drop a line" with ATI/AMD that outright discontinuing support for older cards is not a good move. Especially considering Nvidia is still supporting older cards in newer distributions (they actually update their legacy drivers)

Basically there isn't much I can do to remedy this situation at all unfortunately. I'm still fighting with Apple to update their nvidia 7300 drivers in Leopard and Snow leopard as they are horribly out of date and cause HUGE performance problems with current games (ie.. BioShock and the upcoming Amnesia)
