AMD Catalyst 9.1 Brings OpenGL 3.0

[bulletxt]

i know you are frustrated but stop ranting xD

Never, that won't ever happen. I'm sorry but someone must remember what's going on here. I think you get mad when you buy something that's broken or is built to do something but then it doesn't.

I'm not stupid so I'll continue to remember the truth. And the truth isnt: "wow amd fglrx supports opengl 3". that truth hides the real truth which is what I said before on the previous post.

I haven't re-tried this version with R300, but as it seems absent from the changelog, R300 support mustn't have been fixed.

So I label this release ANOTHER R300 FAIL, especially because it still lists it as being fully supported. C'mon, AMD, I'm trying to like you and all, but you keep pushing me the other way...

What do I need OGL3 if everything else sucks.

I'm done with AMD/ATI. They can put their cards where the sun don't shine.

I reached this conclusion today:

"I hate AMD, but AMD hates me more."

I reached this conclusion today:

"I hate AMD, but AMD hates me more."

they actually tried to put a virus into the driver that would activate in 24h so they can hate you even more...
seriously stop being a kid

won't download it, won't use it.

I've downloaded it halfway and reading through the post resulted me stopping the download. Yeah also 30MB dataflow wasted.



Why can't we stop watching videos and stop playing games and put those time to do some more valuable things? Is it what AMD is trying to teach us? Maybe

This driver is great ...

*AMD rep. hands Melcar a sack of cash*

Oh good... So video doesn't work properly... yet again... Oh no, wait... It's actually worse than before... O_o Ooooook, so who's the retard responsible for this year-long travesty?

This is really bad news
Anyone tried 9.1 with VDR xineliboutput - if the video image size / format change XServer crashed on all 8.xx Catalyst drivers. This is really bad, since with nivida or the intel driver it works just perfect.

OGL 3.0 is nice, but do i need it? NO, but EVERYBODY needs XV - it is essential! It's not XVMC or XVBW or anything else, just plain f***** xv.

Hopefully xorg guys will pick up good XV support for R6xx/R7xx!

Greets,

loeppel, are you seeing a regression or just the same behaviour as the previous release ?
