Anyway:- ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract NewDirectory
- Apply the patch as described by Vi0L0 in the previous post
- sudo ./ati-installer.sh 13.251 --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
- And install the build packages, placed one directory up

Getting an error though:

Originally posted by AJSB View PostYeah i knew about be a Adobe Flash bug...but was only affecting some Nvidia cards and actually Nvidia launched a driver version that they said would solve bug and i continued with the darn thing affecting a 9600GT for several more drivers and many months until it finally was solved...
And Nvidia didn't solve the bug. That would only be possible if the had the flash source, which they of course do not. Only Adobe can fix it, no one else. Current libvdpau works around it, but even that only on browsers that launch flash in a certain way, you'll still get blue people in Opera 12 and I think some other browsers too.
So don't put this one on Nvidia. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't even have VDPAU, you wouldn't have any sort of hardware accelerated flash.

You forgot the essential first part of the steps I provided: extract the files from the .run file. In there there's the file that needs to be patched.

Oh, I should've paid more attention to this. Anyway I've managed to patch and install those drivers, thanks!
P.S. No performance change in Dota 2 or ANY other Linux game.

AMD is by no means perfect but you are right in this case.
Originally posted by AJSB View PostI think people are sometimes too harsh with AMD and not so with NVIDIA...."Na'vi People" in flash anyone ?
How much time did it took for Nvidia to fix it ?
Could AMD do better - sure, but I also want them to stay around for awhile.

If you think it only affected "some Nvidia cards", it's because only those had out-of-the-box VDPAU. As soon as VDPAU was available on open source radeon (no UVD yet back then, just presentation and a shader-based mpeg2 decoder)... guess what, blue people in flash.
