  1. You can actually close the end up against a cliff, it's just very delicate and takes a bit of time (and not guaranteed to work). Ideally it should "snap" to the cliff or something.

    When building a wall near a cliff in Settlers 6 a couple of orthogonal smaller walls appear connecting the wall tower to the cliff. This is just a visual indicator meaning the terrain is impassable.

  2. Here are a couple of interesting tickets:

  3. Thank you! Now it's a bit clearer :)


    grep 'DRI driver' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    [ 23.737] (II) RADEON(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: r600

    It tells me that I'm using the r600 driver but noch which version I'm using.

    I guess I can use different versions with Mesa 9.0 or is that tied together?

    Version is 9.0 as reported by your previous command:

    OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0

    You can use a newer mesa, of course, as well as newer radeon but it must be compiled for your OS version. I also keep a PPA with updated drivers for Ubuntu, see my signature.

  4. I'm a bit confused about the drivers.


    glxinfo | grep OpenGL
    OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
    OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV730
    OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0
    OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
    OpenGL extensions:

    Mesa is the OpenGL implementation but since imporatant parts of OpenGL have to be implemented in the device driver, there are different drivers which are part of mesa, right?

    Radeon (the same as xf86-video-ati?) and RadeonHD are 2D drivers, but are they completely independent of the 3D drivers and not part of mesa?

    According to wikipedia Gallium3D is a free software library for 3D graphics device drivers.

    R300 and R600 use this Gallium3D api and their name seems to refer to the graphics chips with the same name. However they support much more than just R300 and R600 chips, so this name is quite misleading.

    Is this more or less correct and how can I find out which 3D driver and which version I'm exactly using?

    Correct, note that RadeonHD is dead since some years, you can find more info here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature

    To see the driver in use run:

    grep 'DRI driver' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
