Does anyone else have the bug that resuming from suspend doesn't always work, and that sometimes the computer resumes itself (with no user input) to a black screen? I've had this problem for ages on my A10-5800K system (A75 chipset board) ONLY with Catalyst. I have no problem with the open source drivers.

Originally posted by mmstick View PostI thought I should warn everyone that suspend is broken with Catalyst 14.1, so you better disable it completely if you plan on using Catalyst. Steam Overlay is also still bugged with Catalyst -- drasticaly reduces FPS. If you play a game for a couple of minutes you will get framerate stuter.
I tested it in the middle of typing this response.
On another note: I'm quite glad to see that they try to fix piglit tests now :-) It is one of the most complete OpenGL testing suites out there :-)
I did some quick performance tests, I can now play the Raven at medium, previously it would jerk a bit too much. Composited 2D seems a little less jerky too?

I use Fedora 20 at the moment. I'd read somewhere that the catalyst 13.11 beta (what I started with) had issues with Fedora's gnome desktop, so I'm guessing this is still an issue with 14.1 beta drivers. To get around the issue I removed the gnome desktop, which I don't really like since version 3 and installed lxde and xfce desktops. That setup works for me, be careful if you attempt to remove the gnome desktop as it removes far more than you'd like and can end up being potentially complicated.
Just found this how to, but I haven't tried it. http://tojaj.com/fedora-20-howto-swi...radeon-driver/

Look for a service called "YES". and kill it..
No idea what is this but it's the one doing this heavy load cpu.
