I see, thanks for making that clear. > can you attach a screenshot (with a comparison to what you expect)? do > you see this problem in any other applications? Hm. Well, it was quite obvious when you saw it: big black boxes around and/or over input fields appearing and disappearing seemingly at random, sometimes covering the entire window. But I ran aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE which someone told me would disable the new 2D acceleration, and it seems to work fine so far. However, when I tried running StarCraft (the original) in wine, everything was very slow, much slower than with the radeon driver. This changed when I enabled the new »opengl« DirectDraw rendering, leading me to suspect that accelerated 2D rendering is now completely disabled. > that's probably an issue with openarena itself. it just went through > quite a few updates. you could also check its bug reports and submit a > new one. try testing other games as well. if most have issues, then > its a fglrx issue otherwise its just an openarena issue. That's very possible, especially since it at least crashes itself with every other graphics driver I've tried. Half-Life (1) now suddenly run in Wine, so I think it's fairly safe to say accelerated 3D rendering now works. Thanks! :)
