AMD Catalyst 10.7 For Linux Has Eyefinity Support

[Kano]

10-7 is the biggest crap ever produced this year as for Linux+Win it breaks Unigine Heaven 2.1 with tesselation and opengl. It even crashes hard. They fix DXVA2 for vlc 1.1.1 and introduce the biggest error possible.

I don't know what is this "black firefox" thing. I don't see any of that. Are you sure this is not a KDE/Kwin problem? AFAIK the KDE way of doing desktop compositing has been problematic with many drivers.

Then you are lucker .
Artifacts do NOT actually depend on DM. If you are experiencing them on ie. KDE - you will experience them after switching to ie. Gnome, although there could be less or more of them after switching.

This driver release is just another mess. Nothing fixed, but alot new bugs.

OpenGL crashes after a while, 2D artifacts ...

Looks like it depends on gfx that you are using.
Ive got no problems with OpenGL, no regressions.

Also there are some fixes like:
- textures in quake3_engine_based games when using lightmapping looks good again;
- counter-strike is working.

Although the artifacts problem with (rly fast) ATi 2D accel should be fixed cuz its touching many many people.

Yes, I am sorry.
I was too stupid to turn forceXAA off.
I did rm -r /etc/ati but I did it before I have quit X to upgrade catalyst. So it was still there.

They fixed the black firefox problem \o/.

nope, still there.
kde+fglrx+firefox=2D artifacts

sucks.

WTF?
they reimplemented the fullscreen opengl bug, they removed in 10.6.

pretty much. But with 5000 series hardware the choice is limited at best. Ohhhh the agony.

Huh? Could somebody explain exactly what is in the OpenGL 2.0 ES specification that is not in the full OpenGL 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x specifications? Last I remember OpenGL 2.0 ES was a "cut" version of OpenGL shortlisting commands useful for fast-pass / first-pass rendering.
