[Bf-committers] Linux ATI Rescue Team!

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hya,

We get a disturbing amount of ATI + Linux issues in our tracker again.  
It seems like any improvement we try for Blender, however nice OpenGL  
compliant, gives new issues with ATI drivers again. It is usually  
related to drawing pixmaps (glDrawPixels) but also texture drawing  
seems to be cumbersome.

I would like to find out who here has similar configs, and like to be  
involved with testing the issues and find the workarounds? It really  
requires minimal OpenGL coding experience...
Hopefully we can get a small team of devs who can be assigned to handle  
and fix these tracker reports.

You can also expect very good support from ATI yourself, the project  
leader for Linux drivers (Matt Tippett) is responsive, but he cannot do  
the Blender coding itself.

Thanks!
