We both know that DRI support hardly counts when it comes to
gaming. DRI doesn't even come close to the newest cards which means
unless you want to play games from 2-3 years ago you're SOL.
2-3 years? I think my radeon 8500 could still play doom3, be it in a
very low resolution... and that's about as resource-hungry a game can
get these days.
So yes, off course dri isn't up to date with the latest and greatest
cards, but when they finish something it's stable, which can't be said
from drivers from Ati or nVidia. Given the choice, I prefer stability.
And yes Ati should be more pro-active in releasing specs, which would
help dri a lot and take the work of coding the Linux drivers all by
themselves out of their hands. As should nVidia.
