OK, cloned that Git, checked out drm-next-3.11-wip, copied over my config file (followed by make oldconfig), started the compile and this is all I get:Code:ERROR: "__udivdi3" [drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko] undefined! ERROR: "__divdi3" [drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko] undefined!

On topic: Kernel panic on AMD Enduro hybrid gpus (intel ivy bridge 4000 + radeon 7970m)

Yay! We now have an alternative to Intel!

Compared to nvidia and catalyst, radeon still lacks a GUI to configure stuff around, application profiles (I'm looking at nvidia here), overclocking, custom fan control, good 3D performance (to a point where it is funny on the HD7000s) and OpenGL 4.2 (or 4.3) support.
Fan control, Crossfire/SLI, higher OpenGL level, yes. But all not critical.

The problem is AMD decided to help out with these drivers when they were in TERRIBLE shape, so they're basically starting from the ground up. When you consider the amount of features released in the amount of time AMD decided to contribute, many of the problems and missing features should be taken care of in no time.

It only needs some options to actually configure.

What's more, this means that Michael's benchmark results will rise appreciably for the supported AMD chips since the static power mode of balanced (or whatever it's called) can be substituted for a dynamic policy.
I can't wait to see how much the gap closes. I'm expecting a mean 20% increase. Hopefully more.
