I'm using a macboook pro (X1600).
I finally found a stable setup on my system without any trace of fglrx.
I have compiz, textured video, and vblank, which means I can use Xv either full screen or in a window with no flickering while using compiz!
For this setup I'm mostly using stable releases of software or release candidates, but one, x11-drm, from git. The others are xorg-server 1.4.99.905, mesa 7.1_rc3 and xorg-video-ati 6.9.0. My libdrm is 2.3.1 and libpciaccess 0.10.3
Formerly I was using all git versions but was having some stability problems, hence I went back to stable releases as much as I could.
With these versions my system seems rock solid stable. With high activity of all manners (CPU, video, USB, wifi and hd), with NOHZ and PREEMT enabled: not a single hard or soft lockup, neither segfaults or segmentation faults, which were happening to me before.
The only thing I couldn't get to work is suspend/resume. With fglrx, with the simple acpi video flags s3 bios quirk, I could do it reliably from X over and over again with a simple 'echo -n mem > /sys/power/state'.
I already tried anything I could think of to suspend with this OSS driver, and nothing works. Does anyone have it working ? From X or VT? How exactly?
