Any news on ATI fglrx 8.42?

[dopehouse]

I don't need AIGLX. I NEED A PERFORMANCE BOOST. So give me, and if someone else wants it too, the driver ;(

Well, would be nice if it came out this evening (CEST here )

d2kx is right, Compiz does only work with XGL using 8.40.4. But it does work quite well!

I tried posting a link to instructions a little while ago but I guess it's in the moderator's queue since I've just joined as a member.

Anyway, go to: ubuntuforums[dot]org[forwardslash]showpost[dot]php[question mark]p[equals]3571972[and symbol]postcount[equals]20

... or if you'd like to search for it, search for "Problem with ATI 1650" on ubuntuforums[dot]org and go to post #20.

Wow, a clear answer without some Exacto blade interpretation. Is this a Linux forum?!?

Thank you.

Stupid question: if this is such a major update, why isn't it version 9.0, or at least 8.5?

Anyway, I am waiting for 8.42 before uprading to Gutsy Gibbon. I guess I'm expecting an afternoon of playing with X.org configs and fiddling with bug workarounds... hope I'm wrong this time

I hope the 8.42 is coming soon

Haha, same here. Waiting for 8.42 before upgrading to gutsy (and installing it on my other computer), though I haven't had to fiddle with bug workarounds much xD

I was thinking about the same thing

but I couldn't wait for that long so I upgraded to Gutsy 2 days ago... first it was a failure to upgrade from Feisty, XGL was broken. So I freshly installed Gutsy again. Now compiz and XGL works right out of the box! (well...after enabling restricted driver and manually installed xserver-xgl package)

Since I'm not hoping to play a lot of games under Linux as there are not many titles, I will live with the repository version of fglrx for now

8.42!!! Where Are You!?

[FunkyRider]

Looks like we are flooding the forum but I still want to answer your question....

8.42 will be done when its done
