Quoting: AciDIn the mean time, you can use Alt+F3 under kde to access the window properties/actions, even without any 'proper window decorations'.
Many windowing systems (including GNOME) use Alt+Space for that.

Quoting: jarhead_hI had Batman Arkham Asylum working until I updated to 4.2 and 418.56 and suddenly it doesn't work.
I'm glad they have the options for forcing different versions to be used. Doom II is whitelisted for 3.7-8 by Valve, but produces no sound (for me). If I use 4.2, it crashes immediately. But with 3.16-8 Beta, it runs and has sound.

Quoting: BielFPsIs there some option for filter versions in the site? Like I want to see feedback from the latest version with just mesa drivers, but didn't found any option for that.

Quoting: subI love it how AMD managed to get the design win for this again.
AMD has a long history of working with partners on custom solutions. Nvidia has done it occasionally, and always manages to piss off and/or screw over their partner in some way or another.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy(barring issues like not feeling like spending money on support)
Unfortunately, I think that too often that is the primary issue (it's no secret there were Linux builds of Doom, not to mention some of the Blizzard games when Sam Lantinga was there).
