AMD Catalyst 10.1 Driver For Linux Released

[Tares]

I got the same problem.

Welcome to the club :/ worst release ever -_-;

[blindfrog]

The message is clear; some things take more than a month to implement

But not half year :P

... does it run Unigine Heaven?

[krionius]

Do you honestly think several full-time working, payed, highly skilled people didn't do anything else than to fix five bugs or so during the last weeks/months? I think there's some great stuff coming in the next few months

I would be really happy if at least it would support the new ATi mobility cards, mobility HD 5XXX. I wasnt wise enough to dig up the linux driver release notes before buying an ATi gpu notebook... so now i can wait for those great things, just to let me have something like a crappy driver that at least wont tell me "adapter unsupported" in aticonf....

i tried it on Ubuntu Jaunty. and it failed too.
./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/jaunty

Wow, even I am amazed on how little went into this release.

The message is clear: buy from us to get amazing things, but just install it on a Windows platform why dontcha?

That means your hopes were too high. Either you're a n00b to fglrx or you're certifiably insane (doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results), but hey, there's always next month..

I'm not a newb to fglrx and they did a better job last time with xserver 1.6. I know, AMD/Ati has a "3-month-release-cycle" so it would be "okay", if they are releasing a xserver 1.7/X.Org 7.5-Support in Catalyst 10.1, but they did not. That's why I'm dissapointed.

[ChemicalBrother]

Isn't that the price that you pay for being at the forefront with fedora?

X.Org 7.5-Support is an AMD/Ati problem, not a fedora problem. X.Org 7.5 is out there for months, why does AMD/Ati not support it?
