I think i am surprised with this one, really tramandios performance boost in Windows with this driver... whatever this driver does for my Kabini it is a really a huge boost in many places .
Really great job AMD does with this Omega driver
I haven't yet tried linux omega driver, we will see that one

Originally posted by zzarko View PostOK, for Ubuntu 14.04, new catalyst and wine 1.7, I followed an advice on changing deb file dependencies (http://askubuntu.com/questions/54078...fglrx-conflict), and did the following:
1. Install wine1.7
2. Edit fglrx-core dependencies:
Code:mkdir tmp dpkg -x fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb tmp dpkg --control fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb tmp tmp/DEBIAN gedit tmp/DEBIAN/control
Code:dpkg -b tmp/ fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64-FIX.deb
Not sure if this will disrupt OpenCL in any way (probably will), so don't do it if you need OpenCL, I guess...

About WINE and OpenCL issue with this driver...there is a solution....atually, it NEVER was a problem to me WINE and OpenCL...
Just compile WINE w/o OpenCL support and presto !
I never compiled WINE with OpenCL support anyway...
Gonna attempt in next days find time to make a fresh instalation of Slackware in a Trinity APU to see what happens...will install Steam and WINE to check it out.
PS: This driver is NOT only for GCN...just check the list of supported cards and you can see that.

Can't say much about other games with Omega for now. Just overall all my Linux games have been running at least fine (probably still worse than on windows) for a couple of months now.
