Here's what I gather (from personal experience and other's posts) -
UT2K4-demo works wonderfully
ET, Doom3 and Quake3 all fail because they're trying to use Mesa software rendering instead of hardware rendering.
ET error:

Let's see if we can fix this

. Ok, ok, I am happy to have these drivers and I understand that there is a lot of work done by ATI (it seems that mplayer's working a LOT faster), but there's more to do - glxgears should fly off the screen
