Interesting... no "Fixed in this driver" link on the driver page. Cool (since 3.7.6 actually worked quite well for me).
Glad to see they're not sitting on their hands over there. Gotta check the GATOS project and see if there's any hope I might get TV-in for my AIW 9800 SE before I die of old age....
Hmm, so ATI came out with 3.9.0, but is it worth it?
Has anyone currently upgraded or installed the 3.9.0 drivers and got any performance increases (mainly on ut2004)? Also, does this driver work with Fedora Core 2?
I have been unable to get the latest 3.9.0 drivers working even in Mandrake with 2.6.3 kernel and XFree86 4.3.0.1.
The baffling thing is that they install fine, without a single error in fact, and fglrxconfig saves to the right location but when it comes to the restart I am left with Mesa GL drivers still.
Did you force install the drivers? They're supposed to overwrite the Mesa drivers (at least that's the usual reason they refuse to install without forcing; because the Mesa drivers conflict...obviously ).
Well, I finally managed to boot with new drivers running. No idea what I did though.
Shame there is nothing actually fixed in them. I still get the sporadic freezes which I ONLY get when using fglrx, regardless of what settings I use (I have tried persistantly)
I have some sporadic freezing too, but I assumed that was a conflict with boinc (the new beta test distributed computing client for SETI@Home), but it only lasts a couple of seconds, and I only notice it when I'm playing NWN.
What are the symptoms of your freezing, and what have you tried to do to fix it?
I have tried everything to fix the problem. Nearly.
Anyway, I upgraded to 10.0 official and will see how it goes from there.
In the mean time, could someone tell me where to get this "graphical" ATI control panel. Fglrxconfig is lengthy and wants me to respecify EVERYTHING every time I want to change a single setting and can not be bothered to edit x11config manually.
