AMD Catalyst 8.01 Linux Driver

[pjjanak]

This after you installed 8.1?

Yessir.

[sid350]

another crappy release?
they can not call this new version - it is just patch, which fixes the modelines support. I can't see any new fixes.
x1600xt is rotting now under my windows.
and nobody wants to buy my laptop, because of builtin ati videocard! :-E

[Isaac702]

Well I'm dead in the water. I have updated to 8.1 but it crashes when ever I try to configure Xorg through Yast (My old settings don't work either Xorg crashes)

Im not entirely sure what section of the log I should post but others have posted the Backtrace section so here it is.

I guess im back to testing radeonhd until the next release.

Everything good except for XV

Things are working great here on my T60. Suspend is working again and compiz is fast. The only thing left for me is the xv playback. Oh and Google earth is all flickery.

Slowly but surely things are getting better

[Alexander He?]

But I am wondering: the graphics PCI ID is 0x71D4, correct? What happens if you "hack" the PCI ID to 0x71D5 instead, as was common practice before FireGL support became available anyway? Does 3D work then?

Yep, it?s 0x71D4. Where am I supposed to ?hack? the ID?

[sok-1]

For me a good driver release:
- Widescreen is working again,
- The memory leak is no more, (I can't use 7.12 on a widescreen)
- distortion on the lower right is no more,
- suspend works

Unfortuantly, compiz feels faster, but not fast enough.

[SledgeHammer_999]

So, I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 and suspend obviously wasn't working until Catalyst 7.12. However, widescreen stopped working along with that. So I figured I would just wait until 8.1 for widescreen and suspend (and 3D acceleration, which is really the only plus I care about that ATI proprietary drivers have over the others). However, suspend broke. Goddamn it. It turns off the screen, the harddrive spins up, and then nothing. Dead. I have to do a hard reset.

Peter

Well the Release notes state:

Suspending to RAM or DISK on kernel version 2.6.23 or later no longer fails

Well on my up-to-date gutsy "uname -r" gives:

2.6.22-14-generic

So there's your problem!!!

[jackkerouac]

8.01 doesn't work for me.

Well, after installing this driver, I cannot even get into the GDM login screen. I just get a blank, black screen with nothing else. ALT-CTRL-F1 or F2 doesn't work. I have to hard-reset.

Any ideas on why this is happening? 8.40.4 works just fine. It's what I am using now in place of any of the new drivers. Any driver after 8.40.4 gives me the same problems.

Any help would be really appreciated.
