Just as I figured out how to get my old Radeon HD graphics card, to work with AMD legacy proprietary driver goodness, on Ubuntu 13.04, specifically for playing QuakeLive online, I find out they've moved from browser plugin to Windows native client only.. Grrr... Definitely p*ssd off, as 99% of Ubuntu sites say what I've done is impossible.. Will have to settle for free copy of Quake 3 Arena for Linux, I've just grabbed from ID web site, till I find some Linux games worth getting into.. Edited by levyte357- - 28 December 2013 at 2:52pm |

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

Once I weened myself off Outlook, Office, WLM, realised Windows was gone from main desktop for good. I'm not a "boy gamer 'phreak" anymore, so prefer the security & stability of Linux, and don't mind spending time hunting down decent Linux games. |
