Yes, agd5f got the digital outputs working a couple of weeks ago, although there are still some issues with dual displays. We have been going through the usual IP review and DRM-related sanitizing since then. All of the required changes have been indentified, so the initial code should be out pretty soon.Test signature

I'm running arch on my notebook with r800. This repository in the post i will link here worked nicely to get quite recent GIT versions from all the related stuff: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.p...713083#p713083
It's working okay, proper resolution, X autorecognized things. It didn't eat all the power so quickly, i could use it on battery for a longer time (didnt test it fully, but seemed like it would last 1+ hour if i dont watch videos)
