Where is Catalyst 9-1??

Well, it can't take long anymore! According to

http://fireuser.com/blog/welcome_to_the_future_of_graphics_first_opengl_30_driver_release_from_amd/

It was scheduled for release yesterday .
But more amazing news for me personally is that OpenGL 3.0 is fully supported! Lets hope this is true for the Linux driver as well. Can't wait to try!

...and they forgot to upload it! ah what a pity....

I don't think OpenGL 3.0 is supported yet on linux. Not 9.1 beta or even 9.2 beta (which I am runnning) supports more than OpenGL 2.1.8472. And I don't think they would implement OpenGL 3.0 between a beta and a release :P

We would probably wait to marts before anything related to OpenGL 3.0 is released.

Ups, I not used to the "latency" between posts. So I have posted the exact same two times.

I was expecting march as well. But the website I linked to states that is will be available in Windows Xp, Windows Vista and Linux...

Well, the only thing we can do is wait a few more hours until AMD finally fixed the links on their website (one of their websites already links to the 9.1 windows driver, but if you click on it, a 8.12 download is presented) so we can download it and try for ourselves.

[kkkk]

the drivers are already in the server, but the link is missing

yeah
release notes too:

https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_91_linux.pdf

so it really has opengl 3 support
didn't see anything about xv+composite though...
gonna check right now

[mits]

so...
video playing with xv and composite on is flickerless...
...and my system locks up when switching to fullscreen
...another month of waiting...

Hmm i really don't see OpenGL 3.0 in the final 9.1?

glxinfo:
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8395 Release

Or am I missing something?

[mits]

dunno... I get the same thing from fglrxinfo...
someone in somethread mentioned that you could see if opengl 3 was supported by greping somefile about somestring...

[Kano]

That driver does NOT fix the issue shown by gl2benchmark, only the leaked 9-2 driver. So lets wait another month to see new errors
