Is anyone uses an ATI Videocard under Linux ?

This game rocks !
But the property Linux ATI drivers suck big time on several games while on other 3d games they work great.
I wonder if anyone experiencing the same issue as me and unable to play this game without crashes with full graphics and forced to use the safe mode to play ?

Is anyone tried the FREE/Open ATI drivers ? how does it work out in general and in this game specific ?

I am using ATI 9800 Pro Radeon.

i have ati radeon x700 se.

i have to use the opetion forze mode to play, without it i cant.
this is because the game need opengl version 2.1 to use some graphics options, but by now the ati drivers only have 2.0.6 opengl version.

To be honest I never tried (or I don't remember trying) the open drivers but I think it's Mesa or fglrx.

I yeah I see my Video card is too new to be supported under the open drivers
