catalyst 9.5 seems to be out.

Ha ha! They've just copied the 9.4 release notes for 9.5, lol.

are identical xD I think it appears AMD's Catalyst for Linux department is heavily understaffed...

I checked on this; looks like the 9.5 release notes aren't quite finished yet.

Release notes are generated by the same team for all OSes.

well, it fixed at least one bug for me. So it is an improvement.

[Kano]

Well i did not find a fix too, but the amdcccle reports 8.61.2.

9.5 is now officially out.

[mirv]

make sure everything's loaded and running - see if glxinfo has DRI=yes

Turning off desktop effects, I can get the patented crappy tearing xv video playback.

No luck with gl or gl2 though, the same slow playback of video.

[peppo]

gl gl2 flickers like hell from command line, using mplayer.
Running mplayer on same video from desktop results in ultra slow playback.

amdcccle (installed from 9.5) segfaults on start:

petter@gunilla:~$ amdcccle
X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8
Extension: 136 (Uknown extension)
Minor opcode: 5 (Unknown request)
Resource id: 0x5600001

It's an improvement here too. But still not good enough.

[energyman]

well, 9.5 is a great improvement for me. All lockups I ever stumbled upon are gone. So...
