Their current Linux drivers are not good. I cannot use VBOs or shaders without crashing my system, and I have X4500HD which is supposed to be fast and support SM4. The Mesa driver implements OpenGL 2.0 and GLSL 1.10, both of which are outdated. Performance is also slower than in Windows.

My Logitech wireless mouse using proprietary protocol does this too.

Journal Journal: Coding stuff

I wrote earlier that we are programming a MMORPG at the university. We now use Python and Panda3D to develop it. We demoed it at our university's lobby to masses two weeks ago and it gained interest.

I start timing my bootup when I hit the power button and I stop timing when wireless authenticates with the router. Currently my bootup time is 31 s. I'm using Eee PC 701 and Xubuntu 8.10 with custom kernel from kernel.org. I hope to see better bootup time with Xubuntu 9.04 and ext4.
