Summary: "There's been a number of recent open-source driver

improvements that have come about for modern ATI/AMD Radeon graphics

cards under Linux, but not all of these features have yet to be merged

or enabled by default (e.g. 2D color tiling, PCI Express 2.0, and

HyperZ). With some basic tweaks, can the open-source Radeon Gallium3D

driver now compete with AMD's proprietary Catalyst Linux driver when it

comes to OpenGL performance? Let's see."
