This new update is already a step forward, it solves some problems, and this feature is not even mentioned in the release file.
The driver can do overscan through the amdccle which gives me for the first time a fullscreen picture without tricks on my Toshiba LCD panel.
Also there is now a tab with HDTV setup and a colourbar frame for adjusting the colour quaility.
Therefore my guess is video accel in the near future...

Hi Yall & Evan,
Hmmm. I've just re-read the "Offical Support List" & ....
<snip>
AMD Desktop Product Family Support
ATI Radeon? HD 5800 Series
<snip>
Specifically the HD 5700 Series is *not* mentioned. Hence, there is only some sort of partial support.
Any insights on this Bridgman?
Howz about other users of the HD 5700 series?
Evan, do you get any error messages when trying to intall Cat-9.10? Does it install ok & then give you that PIA hardware no supported blah, blah, blah....?

cd /usr/share/ati

cd /whatever directory you have the cat-9.10.
sh *.run

I cant get the 5750 to work at all with the catalyst 9-10 driver from amd though.
I expect the 5770 would be similar...?
cheers Evan.

I can just barely watch blu-ray bitrate HD video currently on my
2.4GHz C2D iMac with Radeon HD 2600 XT, as long as I am watching
h264 video and using both cores. There are still occasional glitches.
If the video is VC1 encoded, mplayer uses only one core and
it's unwatchable.
I would *love* to not have to boot into OSX just to watch my HD videos.

I think we're all thinking about the mplayer UVD usage thing here.
Perhaps ATI just made a huge mistake or maybe they want us to know that they are releasing it. Who really knows... all that I know is that if I can watch HD on my linux distro even with fglrx I'll be using it to watch movies a lot more.

Catalyst 9.10 also contains a major advancement too, which will be exposed in the near future.So apparently, mplayer doesn't crash when using UVD any more.
How, may I ask, can mplayer be configured to use UVD?
But I could be (and likely am) completely wrong.
Still, no obvious regressions so far on this end, so good release.
