AMD Catalyst 9.3 Brings OpenGL Composite Support

For me the new driver does not work (as promised in the article).
My chipset is "ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]".
The system is Ubuntu Linux 8.10 / amd64 / Gnome with compiz.
Has anyone had success with this or a similar configuration?
Moving a glxgears window looks like in the first movie.
Apparently the driver is not released yet - I hope this will be fixed before the last official release for my system!

Thanks for the quick reply!
glxinfo says "direct rendering: yes"
Like people from some previous posts I also cannot launch amdcccle any more: "Segmentation fault".
3D performance is good, though: > 600 FPS in glxgears (> 1000 without compiz), smooth Google Earth (if I disable the 3D desktop with "metacity --replace" to avoid flickering).

Anyways, neat comparison with the composite support, it looks so much better now.

On my side version 9.3 works almost same as the previous one. I'm not using Compiz, so I don't worrie about Composite. But I'm still getting video tearings. The only solution that I found was to enable vsync to always on in AMDCCCLE. It works fine when enabled, but with higher bitrate it slowing down my videos in XBMC , got frame drop.
Is someone has an idea how to rid tearings without using vsync ?

FYI: A Fedora 10 package of 9.3 made it's way into the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repository yesterday.

For anyone who is *not* seeing OpenGL output composited, can you please reply back to the list with some info about your graphics chip/card/bus ?

fgl_glxgears crashes my system with no error message, just black screen and im forced to do a hard restart. glxgears works but output is not composited. Video playback with VideoOverlay on and opengloverlay off is black, and obviously not composited. This really sucks since this is the last proprietary driver for my card, and it doesn't even work correctly. Guess ill keep my eyes peeled for dri2 and gallium3d in the open source driver.
