"setting the proprietary ATI drivers" <-- this is NOT a fix, it is a WORKAROUND! The opensource ati drivers are far more stable then the proprietary ones... How about, user: it doesn't work on linux dev: try it in windows? user: it works in windows, but I use the linux version dev: use the windows version That use to be way too common back in the day, now things are actually properly supported in linux, they SHOULD be properly supported with opensource drivers... If said drivers were not up to the job that would be understandable, but KSP runs GREAT in linux using the opensource ati driver, just 1.0 added bugs due to fairing/service-bay/heat-shield-cowl transparency overlays. Seeing as the old engine cowls and cargo bays work great, saying the other stuff is NOT working due to graphics drivers is a cheap 'I don't want to fix' solution. Fairings are STILL NOT fixed on ati opensource linux driver Glad it helped some dude that decided to use the proprietary driver, but it doesn't help everyone.
