billybore,

What about PowerPlay do you have problems with? It's great through aticonfig and support for PowerPlay in amdcccle will be added soon.

Later in 2007 I guess. I think they improve fglrx drastically in 2007. Maybe Michaels upcoming article will show us some new information.

Resolved Issues

* The screen no longer turns black if the X-Server is terminated from the text console. This condition was known to occur only on certain laptop confgiurations.

that one is funny. i just got black screen with 8.34.8 when shutting down my X session to build new 8.35 drivers.

and my pc is definitely no laptop :]

i wonder if their laptop fix will do the trick for me :]

Why did you have to shutdown your X session when building the drivers? You should be able to run --buildpkg from X.

okay... this is a bit pain in the ass.... forget the AGILX and etc...
every time i do installation or upgrading driver from ATI on my laptops *ALWAYS* i get OpenGL = MESA.

can someone tell me why?
everytime i have to go through hoops to get the ATI Renderer.

any help/hints are much apreciated.

thanks

Can you elaborate a bit more? I seem to never run into that issue.

BTW, a few more thoughts on the control center @ http://www.michaellarabel.com/?k=blog&i=135

well the composite=false is not being read right after update for whatever reason after upgrade, however second killall Xorg - seem to do the job.

so what exactly new in this driver aside a different window displying system info on the video card?
