AMD 8.42.3 Driver Released -- The Baby Is Born!

[elite]

Is anyone use Ubuntu 7.10?
I was install the 8.42 driver for five times,
but the desktop effects doesn't work?

Can someone give me a install introduction

Seems to be Xserver 1.4 related, right?

I'm using xorg-server-1.3 and xorg-x11-7.2 under Gentoo atm.

What steps have you tried so far? It's working fine for a number of people on Ubuntu 7.10.

What chipset are you using? Its possible that your chipset MAY be on the black listed chipsets. Even after whitelisting the driver, I needed to remove my chipset from the black list to enable desktop effects.

Incorrect on the SLUB allocator count. My laptop with 2.6.22 and SLUB now suspends fine. Now waking from suspend and trying to go to X, another story, but the driver doesn't block sleep like the older driver did with SLUB.

That's interesting. The new driver hasn't fixed this problem for me. I'm guessing you're not using Ubuntu, right?

Oh well, the next driver is supposed to fix this by introducing 2.6.23 kernel support (which comes with SLUB by default).
