[vtkusers] Re: ATI Petition for Adequate Drivers in Linux

[Goodwin Lawlor]

VTK was crashing with my Raedon Mobility (tm) graphics card... I narrowed
the problem down to rendering antialiased fonts. To get around the problem
you can either switch off antialiasing or get a recent cvs version of VTK...
Sebastien recently overhauled the textmappers.

Hi,
A friend could not use VTK on his laptop, Windows XP quickly crashed. After
few research, we found that the ATI driver was guilty. As far as I know,
there is still no update.
Don'y buy ATI!

I suspect that was a typo for Radeon, which ATI do make in a bewildering
variety of forms, see .

That still doesn't excuse the typo, which would devalue any serious attempt
to influence the company. personally, I'd be happy enough if they would fix
the windows XP drivers for their laptop cards. In my case I have a Toshiba;
ATI says Toshiba do the drivers, Toshiba hasn't released a new one in ages,
the current one is broken for several mainstream apps (and vtk), although
not terminally. I have to say nVidia does a much better job at this part of
the customer satisfaction equation.
