For the record it seems like the hardware mipmapping is busted
in those drivers. Atleast there's some discussion about this in the
Ogre3D forums. The latest beta drivers, appear to work however.

Our systems started having buggy graphics after I upgraded them from 100.14.19 to
173.14.12. Atleast Ogre broke and who knows what else.

I know this is not really freshrpms related, but I thought I'd drop a note
here, too, since those are the most recent drivers here.

I'm forced to upgrade our drivers to the beta ones (177.13) because they appear to work,
and we need support for newer cards.

cheers,
