Installed it with Kano's script and most seem to work as in 2D acceleration, but tearing caused by refresh rate is still present. Ant this is very important for me, cause I don't use my HD 4850 for playing games on Windows, but general usage.
So, back to Open Source... i guess...

just installed it. It is faster indeed.
Before, the small delays on maximizing etc. were about the same on my nvidia notebook and the ati desktop. I got used to them. Now they're gone on my desktop, which means that my notebook is going to feel slow soon. Damn.
Are there any fan-less, non-glare AMD notebooks/netbooks on the market?

GOD it's snappy. The new 2D is really, really fast. All window resizes are instant, and I even have a script that removes the metacity borders around a window when I maximize it (and puts close/min/max on the panel) and it's still instant, even with relatively complex programs like kdenlive, Firefox and so on.
I currently have an HD video on Desktop 1, tons of cluttered window on Desktop 3, and this Firefox on desktop 2.
Switching around between them cause no issues whatsoever. It's always instant.
I heard a lot of really bad press about ATi's FGLRX drivers, but I must've been lucky. Since 10.5 they've been excellent. Not as good as the window drivers, but just the sheer amount of improvement from version to version is amazing.

I have a 3470 in hybrid crossfirex with an on board 3200.
Also I'm running the latest debian sid with the driver package generated from this repository: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-fglrx...-driver/trunk/

Besides that they still haven't fixed the huge performance drop in HoN that came with 10.5... I wonder if 5xxx owners still crash...

Exactly the same packages works on my desktop PC with a Radeon 5770. I also rebuild the packages on the Notebook, but with no changes. Downgraded to 10-5 for the moment.
Then you have to completely remove /etc/ati and /usr/lib/fglrx
Now reinstall fglrx 10.6 and all is good.

if you pull the browser with the mous out of the screen and back into the screen then the browser shows the right colors and stuff.
this bug comes most of the time if you turn of effects.
please try to turn on more 3D-Desktop effects!
