Hello all,

I'm probably not the most experienced person to contribute to this
discussion ( I'm participating in GSoC 2014 under Crystal Space). I just
felt that I should post my experience compiling Crystal Space for the first
time in Ubuntu 13.04 with a *AMD Graphics Card.*

I feel that CS is targeted a lot toward nvidia chips. The prerequisite
libraries even include apt-get commands to nvidia-settings and drivers. The
first time I compiled CS, it ran perfectly, but a reboot later, my Unity
(the desktop) broke, and the entire system had to be restored by removing
the selected nvidia settings and reconfiguring my X-Org drivers.

I agree that CS requires the Cg library, thus maybe those nvidia settings
and drivers were important in some way, but even after removing them, I am
yet to face any errors.

I just feel that support for *AMD Chipsets *must also be included
explicitly, and a possible turnaround should be found for the nvidia
installations, because they will break every system with AMD cards, in my
opinion.

Cheers.
