Mhh and for uvd what I need to do ?
It will run OOB or I need to install a patched mesa, ati etc?

well depending your OS, but if you use ubuntu basically kernel and the whole graphic stack, i think there are some external repos that do the heavy lift but i don't use ubuntu so im not sure[ask an ubuntuer]

if you use Arch, just download the latest of each from here http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/x86_64/ and make an pacman -U *.tar.xz, restart and enjoy awesome

Yea, these results are quite amazing indeed. r600g even surpassed Catalyst in a few tests. And it's not even *that* far from Windows.

btw michael my radeonSI driver 7770 thanks to ag5df runs xonotic ultimate at 720P at 190FPS without glitches, is worth test it later

an nice trick for when arch is installed

nano /etc/default/grub

find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" and make it

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="irqpoll threadirq radeon.dpm=1 quiet"

I look forward to the days when AMD deprecates Catalyst

Someone mentioned 2015, I think 2016 is more realistic, but hey let's not quabble intensely over a single digit.

I can't wait until we can get those developers into the OSS fold!

for UVD remember to install libvdpau and libva-vdpau-driver otherwise mplayer/vlc will give you hell. in the case of smplayer set video to vdpau and select the codecs except WMV3[used to hang gpu last time i tried] and Mpeg1/2[mpeg1 is broken, mpeg2 works fine]
