Comment # 1 on bug 94692 from 
Hi, my quirk was included in Linux [1]. In fact from Debian's kernel 4.4 it
successfully boots without having to recompile.

Sadly performance are NOT worth the price of the product. I still prefer my
older HD 6670 with 2GB VRAM which gives me much more stable fps. With R7 370,
Xonotic is almost unplayable because of stuttering even with lowest settings.
Also after almost an year I see no progress on this front. They included the
quirk and nothing more. I still have to understand why all this happens in the
first place! What kind of black magic is Catalyst doing? Why can't we do the
same?

These are my two cents,
Elia
