How do you become an AMD Catalyst Beta Tester?

[d2kx]

Is there a fglrx driver that does not lock up with latest kernels or some dual gfx configs?

You should add that your dual gfx problem is a Hybrid Crossfire configuration and the notebook doesn't allow you to disable one of the chips. Crossfire is working fine as far as I know.

Well it has to work with it, that kind of config is not excluded in the fglrx readme.

because the people will complain loudly and other people will use it to attack amd? it is a loose loose situation. If you ignore them, you get more flak. If you try to cater to them, you don't need betas.

Yeah sure. The world is full with companies doing public betas out there (including AMD's major graphics competitor NVidia), but no, AMD is special. It's gonna bring them down.

lol.

[bridgman]

How many of the companies doing public betss are also doing monthly releases ?

[RealNC]

You're right. NVidia does weekly releases

@bridgman

Absolutely nobody needs defined monthly releases. You need new releases when there are bugs in old releases. If you update em daily, weekly, monthly or never is just the question of how annoying the included bugs are.

Of course many ppl complain, but those who are happy don't use the board.
