Well this new driver hasn't changed much for me with my ATI HD 2400XT card. Scrolling in firefox seems remotely faster but my biggest problem is the screen going black for 2 secs (almost as if the x-server is crashing) every time I load a video in any player or in firefox via the mplayerplug-in. This problem started with the 8.42.3 driver.
Regards
Andr?

Dottout: I have great patience. I've waited years for ATI (now ATI/AMD) to bring themselves to the top of their game with regards to their closed source. I'll keep waiting too. For now.
Now, the one thing I do note in the fairly unimpressive driver release docs is the inclusion of official Ubuntu 7.10 support. (early look it says). The question I then is:
Does it allow for Step 1 type installation? For those who don't know what I mean, I mean simply running the installer and installing it using the graphical user interface without doing the Step 2 commandline compile and install.

(is it me or libstdc++5 is not needed anymore?)
Edit: only amdcccle needs libstdc++5 with the today release
@Michael, you write in your article, that further modification is needed for the driver to work with kernel 2.6.24. I'm running 2.6.24-rc3 (with a few more patches) and it build fine for me.
I'm also running 8.42.3 (patched for 2.6.23) for quite some time now with kernel 2.6.24, so I wouldn't expect any problems.
One question, do you know if they fixed the SLUB thing?
Edit: BTW, so I was right, it came today (and this week).Last edited by Berniyh; 21 November 2007, 07:38 PM.
