If/when this new code sees the light of day, will it also fix the blank screen/no signal issue that is seen on some monitors with hdmi audio on <= hd 4xxx? We just got a led-lcd and whenever radeon.audio=1, no signal seems to be recognized by the monitor, but on our regular lcd, everything works swimmingly.

Wow, thanks for this info! I was always sure it's card specific that sometime HDMI mode doesn't work!
sgcb: I'll contact you privately, let's try to fix that

no sorry. you have to wait for the official amd solution

Oh, thanks for enlighting me about my development.

i think the official amd opensource HDMi support will be released in February 2012.

Any news about UVD?

Wow. Maybe another "Q already knows what bridgman doesn't" situation?
We will see...

Dang it, have there been any developments since october [link]? How far along is the fixed code compared to the new code for evergreen+?

Windows Embedded Compact, nobody is going to replace FGLRX on any normal consumer version of Windows. And for what it's worth FGLRX works just fine *on Windows*, complain all you want about how it works under Linux but almost all those issues are platform specific from trying to hack it to run on top of or instead of X11.

Everyone else seems to make drivers that work fine under X11 but AMD with FGLRX.

FGLRX is the name of the Linux display driver, the Windows one has been called Catalyst for as long as I can recall. Catalyst Linux is just a rebranding of their same old shit.

Hm, would you like a list of issues I've seen on Catalyst for Windows?

Item 2: Of course AMD isn't doing this because it's right. They're doing it because FGLRX is an unholy mess and they want free labor to make a driver they can port to Windows.
