For details, look at Red Hat bugzilla #517625. (I can't post the direct link yet since this is a new account. Moderator, go ahead and delete this posting once the other one goes through. Thanks!)

I am not commenting on these because you should only mess with them if you know what you're doing! It's not exactly hard though.
Using Ubuntu Karmic and xorg-edgers, I am able to run Nexuiz just fine and without visual artifacts/corruptions on my HD 4850. Compiz/KWin4 run amazingly well, too. I am really surprised about how good the Mesa R600 3D driver already runs.

I know this article is about 3d, but how is 2d? I have a Radeon HD3200, and I watch a lot of HD videos (mostly <1080p). How would this perform on my system? I'd rather use the open source; would opengl output work well like the catalyst drivers?

I build all of my programs from source, so my versions are probably not what you'd find on a standard distribution.

Of course the benchmark would have to be made for an action move, with lots of FPS, and a drama with close to constant FPS.

Originally posted by GoremanX View PostI thought the latest version of the radeonhd driver was 1.3? It doesn't matter if you compile from source, how did you end up with a 1.8? Seems like an odd typo to make, the 8 is nowhere near the 3.

Otherwise wait for another six months, I am sure other distributions will catch up. Fedora doesn't hoard patches and all these changes are merged upstream which will eventually trickle in everywhere.
