Last time I tried to use AMD's open source driver, it worked well for
office applications and minor OpenGL (glxgears, desktop effects, etc.)
but it couldn't play a DVD on full screen (1920 * x) without frame
drops. (Yes, I tried tuning parameters with mplayer2).
Intel's driver works well enough for this but it doesn't have much head
room, either.
ATI's closed source driver works pretty well, too, nowadays. I had
trouble with xorg-server-1.12 but haven't investigated it, yet.
Regards,
Florian Philipp
