When is AMD/ATI finally going to release a driver that will officially support (mobility) FireGL cards?
When selecting Linux/FireGL on ati.amd.com/support/driver.html, the only version that is being offered is 8.35.5 which was released in March! That's like 8 months ago.
I'm currently running a patched 8.42.3 which works with the V5250 in my T60p without any problems the Radeon users don't have also. So… Why disable if it actually works?Last edited by Alexander He?; 14 November 2007, 04:34 PM.

How many times are they going to say "next month"
Why doesn't an ATI engineer dare to show there face here?

I used Kano's method which has been described by ambro814 in this thread. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and it worked on the first try.
I'll give this a whirl on F8/64 tonight.

This discussion is the kind of thing that makes me think carefully about buying ANY ati card in future. Indeed for my last PC card I was hovering between ATI and Nvidia. In HW specs ATI was better, but my confidence in drivers far lower...... I went for Nvidia.
Ok so 8.42.3 in a T60p .. I tried that but didn't have good results, most serious problem was that after resuming from suspend the screen would be blank ,and sometimes would hit a kernel dump.
Also I could not get compiz working properly with a 2nd DVI screen with hot plugging, the full resolution could not be selected.
What I need is
- RHEL5.1 support
- stability (no kernel hangs)
- suspend/resume
- hot dock/undock with external display
- basic GL support (google earth, Secondlife)
- Ideally compiz
Right now with 8.35.5 I can mostly get the first 4 of those. No driver since has come close...
