Comment 133 for bug 284408

Nope. Its a target of stupidity at most, and target of problems at least. None of the FOSS drivers support OpenGL 2(.1) or OpenGL 3.0. The ATI FOSS drivers do not support FBOs, which are needed by quite a few OpenGL-based games, especially emulators of game consoles. If you can bring up full OpenGL 2.1 + GLSL support by Jaunty for the FOSS driver, THEN it would be a target of opportunity. Otherwise you are just damning ATI card users. Besides, it seems that the FOSS driver is horribly unoptimized on OpenGL with Wine. fglrx has wonderful OpenGL/WineD3D performance.
