    There were two issues. Because the hawaii patches were in a separate tree Marek's tiling fixes for CI didn't get applied since to Hawaii (Jerome's fix) when we later merged hawaii support. The firmware wasn't really buggy per se. Prior to hawaii support, we switched the CI code in mesa to use to a new special case type 3 NOP packet. The problem was the version of of CP firmware we using originally on hawaii didn't support that packet. So, you can either use the new firmware or patch mesa to use the old NOP packet and use the old firmware.

      Hyperz artifact issues looks to me more like Z-fighting issues in Unigine Sanctuary for example . They appear only in far positions but not when near.

      So i think maybe just near plane is set too much closely then it need to be . I mean i checked out that - it is not in the same place for mesa when compared it with fglrx, for mesa those far/near plane values are different and slightly off, so i begin to think that is just core mesa bug actually. In the end hyperz does not align to that .

        I know, but i more thinking about this

        Most people will like you Alex more then Linus, if you name these patches with something like : HAWAII was not high PRIORITY .
