New AMD Catalyst Beta Supports Linux 3.8, TF2 Fixes

[Gps4l]

I today installed latest beta. I was able to solve the flash issue, and the screen tearing.

The flash issue was solved with checking a box in the system setting ( or is it kde ? )

Disable desktop effects when an application runs in full screen.

Enable V sync in amd controll center solved the tearing.

I do some to have a new problem though.

After allot of searching and installing about every 32bit mesa lib I could find, steam still complains.

The output of glxinfo proofs steam right.
I opened a topic on openSUSE forum about this, hope they can help.

May it be possible that you run 64 bit Linux and have used the option to create a package for your distro in the installer?
I had a similar problem on Slackware 64 and found that the driver installs 32 bit compatibility libraries only if you install directly, without creating a package.

I'm still confused:

Is this really a new Cat 13.3 beta3 binary with new bugfixes (compared to 13.3b3 from mid March?).
Hard to believe...

Slackware, the mommy of my distro.

I tried to build an rpm, but could not find it, so I gave up, and did it directly.

There is something weird though, I have mesa and mesa 32 bit installed.
Today also install wine 32bit.

Still glxinfo says direct rendering is not enabled.

I do not see any difference. But that does not mean allot.
