While their drivers are not perfect in Linux, why don't people just stop ripping into ATI and help write the open source driver? The complaints sound like spoiled kids who don't get their way. "Mom the sandwich you made isn't very good." "Well make your own." "I don't want to, I want you to learn to make a better sandwich so I can continue to be spoiled."

    If you find a bug, report it. Don't just go to the forums and complain about how bad things are and that your life completely sucks because something isn't going your way. Learn to fix it or stop complaining.
    It's all very well telling people to report bugs, but there's various OpenGL related bugs that've been reported on the bug tracker and then just been ignored despite repeated comments asking for status updates from ATI. Or when they claim to have fixed an issue on there but it's still broken in the driver and they never respond to queries on it.

    Ok, nobody can help me, but just let me know a thing: does ATI Catalyst support "hardware acceleration" for reproduction of videos?

    However, is it normal that with these drivers I can't reproduce well all my videos? I'm very disappointed from ATI.

    Someone will tell me: use open source driver. But with them, fan speed is too high. They warn up too much!
    Isn't there any solutions?

    Ummm demanding features to work on a card you played good money for is not being a spoiled child. Nvidia does why can't ATI.

    FireGL and Radeon X driver is the name... FireGL gets a slightly different OpenGL stack optimized for professional opengl apps. This is not faster for Linux games but for benchmarks like specviewperf.

    well said ^^

    let's not forget: the catalyst driver was mainly intended for the enterprise customers, is that correct ?

    Hi everyone. I'm an Italian user who uses Kubuntu 10.04 on Toshiba L500 1v5 with ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphic card (sorry if my English is bad).

    I've installed ATI Catalyst drivers 10.08 replacing open source driver because I need hardware acceleration for reproduction of HD videos with VLC 1.1.x.
    Unfortunately, the reproduction isn't good with all videos that I tried. When a video is reproducing, before some parts of the image freeze and after they return normal. This often occurs...
    Can someone help me?

    Here is my xorg.conf:
    Code:
    Section "Module"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Device"
    	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    	Driver      "fglrx"
    	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Monitor"
    	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
    	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Screen"
    	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    	DefaultDepth     24
    	SubSection "Display"
    		Viewport   0 0
    		Depth     24
    	EndSubSection
    EndSection
    
    Section "ServerLayout"
    	Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
    	Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
    EndSection
