Almindor: heya
Almindor: is there a nice article/forum post explaining the actual difference between the official fglrx 8.10 and the "canonical" one?
Almindor: I'm interrested because since 8.9 fglrx is broken for me (x86_64 X1600 mobility) and was wondering if they did some 64bit love or if it's just some "latest kernel/X" hotfix
rvalles: Almindor: it supposedly works on xserver 1.5.x
rvalles: while the other one doesn0t
rvalles: supposedly.
rvalles: doesn't really know
Almindor: rvalles, won't help me much I guess. I'm on 64bit and since 8.9 it's all simply broken
rvalles: Almindor: here it works for me
rvalles: but same issues as usual
Almindor: even aticofnig --lsp gives me "no powerplay" since 8.9
rvalles: and the 8.10 upgrade today...
rvalles: is the same shit
rvalles: no laptop, but hd4850
rvalles: no sync to vblank on xvb
rvalles: *xv
Almindor: yeah, I'm on 64bit laptop
rvalles: so xv is useless
Almindor: something they obviously don't test
rvalles: I have to use gl as output for videos.
rvalles: radeon and radeon-hd
rvalles: don't set modes properly
rvalles: for my two screen setup
rvalles: xrandr seems to detect things fine
rvalles: but the dvi screen will just turn off, leaving just the crt
rvalles: it's a disaster
rvalles: I hope it gets better soon
rainbyte: hi
