Hey Eric,
Despite the joy this Linux support by Google merits,
let's remind
people that this is beta software.
Eventhough it works GREAT :-)
I did test on my laptop, which runs Kubuntu 6.06 and
features an
ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with the ati driver (not the proprietary
one).
The result was less than satisfying for me: going fullscreen during
an animation, I had quite some pixel garbage on the screen, and after
just a bit more playing, my X session just froze - access via ssh
stayed possible, but I ended up having to reboot, with no chance of
restarting the X session (kills didn't work out).
It would have maybe better worked with the proprietary driver.... anyway, they
recommend recent hardware in order to have a decent experience.
I've tested it on my desktop with all settings set to max...and no problems
here.
I got an amd64 3500 and a nvidia gforce 6600 (using propr. drivers).
