I am not involved with the other two positions.

But I guess in AMDs case after 7 years maybe they wanted to do something different. And I guess somebody else will follow into their empty position.

First, there is this issue: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26645
Very, very annoying.
Then with catalyst 10.11 they made me switch to the Open Source driver again:- Warcraft 3 occassionally just freezes. I have encountered about 6 of this freezes. One time it completely blocked the keyboard and I had to ssh into the pc to kill wine. The other times I could alt+tab and kill it directly. I believe this isn't even openGL 2!
- Half Life 2 freezes on some different points in the game when you look in the wrong direction in the wrong angle.
Then I got to one point where I couldn't go further because it froze every time.
Here is a little video: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13721560/hl2-3.mkv (FPS was very good actually, it's just the video recording). I tried with several different settings in the amdcccle and with a fresh default config.
I then put in a geforce 8800gt. With that card and the exactly same wine configuration it run flawlessly. Unfortunately the memory of this card seems to be broken because sometimes single characters on the console (even on bios screen) are colored and after some time of running applications that I think need much video ram the pc freezes and leaves me with a broken framebuffer etc.
I ran with xorg 1.9 and 2.6.36. What is latest if not that?
On the other hand maybe it doesn't work properly because I don't use legacy software.
Were you having any problems not Wine-related? That seems more relevant.
