Hi everyone,
I own a mobility radeon 3650 (Dell Studio 17 laptop). After trying the latest catalyst drivers (9.6) I decided to install the radeonhd. I was not convinced by the quality of the hdmi display when watching a movie (gl output). Furthermore I had a lot of tearing on the hdmi (when playing a movie) thing that i don't have on my laptop screen. I installed the radeonhd 1.2.5 driver (+git20090617) from a ppa on my Kubuntu 9.04. I configured my xorg.conf the best I could. My laptop screen allows a 1440*900 resolution while my Sony Bravia 46w5500 allows a 1920*1080 resolution. I managed to get Xvideo acceleration and hdmi audio sound. I declared a virtual desktop composed of the two monitors. However i encounter two issues: the first one is the fontsize and the second issue is the tearing (horizontal line appears every 5 seconds). On my kde desktop all my applications (including non-kde applications) have their text displayed with a font that looks like a 3 dpi one. That makes them unreadable. Regarding the tearing, it only happens when I use the hdmi connection.
It is quite strange that i can't get any information using xvattr...
TIA
