However, if you were hoping Catalyst 9.12 would deliver on some of your holiday wishes, guess again. There still is no pure, usable XvBA support besides using the VA-API to XvBA wrapper

I have a 5750. I got the card to run three screens in DVI so I also have the Dell Active DP adapter but the Linux drivers don't support the third screen (though it does see it). I was told my ATI this is because of the Eyefinity setup under Linux but it will be working soon.
Does anyone know if I can finally run three screens properly with 9.12?? Thanks!

9.11 is working with my current setup. 2.6.30-15 works. 2.6.30-14 and 2.6.30-16 do not with Ubuntu.
Yeah... I'll keep using 9.11 because even a kernel security bugfix makes it stop working... It seems as if you need to actually use voodoo magic to make fglrx work and I sure as hell am not going to risk using the 9.12 driver. Especially if it doesn't bring anything to the table.
Hell logging in takes a few tries. I can tell by watching the bash login and counting the failed attempts at automatically launching X untill it works. I can also see some serious framebuffer wierdness every once in a while and I pray it doesn' t crash by not even moving my mouse.
As long as I don't start clicking around and throwing commands when I run nything remotely related to 3D it somehow doesn't crash. Otherwise it actually does.
God... Bridgman, I hope it's just some tiny bunch of bugs or something, some tiny misconfigured defaults, almost completely, but not fully, implemented stuff or easily fixable, that codebase of fglrx, or otherwise... yeah...

Did they? 9.13 and 9.14 betas still have that issue (oh shit, shouldn't have written that ). The driver is being a pain right now and doesn't want to install properly, so I haven't tested it yet (the beta revision worked fine though, so I doubt there are that many last minute changes).

Whatever is causing that bug is not due to fglrx...
