Dream on:
Code:**) RADEONHD(0): Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" (**) RADEONHD(0): Option "UseAtomBIOS" "true" (WW) RADEONHD(0): RV770: HW 2D acceleration is not implemented yet.
Card still runs too hot and moving a window or scrolling eats up all the CPU.

There is clear disparity in priorities with closed source drivers and open source documantation...[SNIP]
One sucks because its not stable/clean, hence unusable.
The other sucks because it has no features, hence unusable.

Uhm, just about all the basic functionality, 2d/3d acceleration and Xv is available for <r600.
Support for r600 and up is in the works, but these cards have a totally different architecture, and there are only a few open source developers who are able to work on the drivers at this time, because AMD is having problems clearing the documentation for release because of legal issues.
To be clear, the present situation as regards the open-source drivers is NO ONE's FAULT. It's a combination of limited resources and unforeseen problems. Whining that your HD2xxx H3xxx or HD4xxx card still doesn't work is NOT HELPFUL.

There is clear disparity in priorities with closed source drivers and open source documantation. If AMD realy wanted to help us (and itself) it would put more effort to releasing documentation faster. I don't necessarily mean full 3d, but at least 2d acceleration and video so that drivers would be usefull for desktop and hdtv.Last edited by sundown; 14 October 2008, 05:31 PM.
