hey its only because the catalyst is perfekt no bug or error to report also lets talk abaut money or sex or somthing like that

Not really true. All the problems with video are gone on my HD3450 R6xx. BUT this is the most buggy version of this driver I have ever used. Texture corruption on several games. Especially with Wine. I was about to send a bug to Wine, but I tried rolling back Wine versions to find out that the problem wasn't really with the Wine update. I find corruption on Flatout2 and Trackmania Nations under Wine and one native app, but I don't remember which one right now. Lots of games installed here. xP

Edit: Almost forgot, Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64, Linux 2.6.28-15, X 1.6.0. Supposed to be supported, I think.

9.9 catalyst fix the shame!

Hi all,

I hope it finally gives a boost to video-playback too!

I finally sold my 4870. If the 5870 does not have propa vid supports, like the nVida series, I will purchase a GTX-275.

ATI hardware is grand indeed, but the spend on drivers isn't; not that this has not been covered before.... ;-)

You know Europe is a continent not a country, right? The VAT in EU countries varies wildly from 16% to 36%...

What is "propa vid supports" exactly? I can see 1080p x264/DTS MKVs on a 2.5GHz Athlon X2 with 4GB ram and an integrated Radeon 3200 (latest fglrx blob) on Debian AMD64 kernel .26 / VLC 1.0.1 ... Oh, an I also tried it on SuSe 11 AMD64, same VLC, same hardware and it works...
