AMD ATI 8.33.6 Driver Released

[Michael]

Now, are desktop effects supposed to work?

Desktop effects are not yet supported.

GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not a supported extension in fglrx. The extension is listed under server glx extensions and not in what is provided by ATI.

ah, learned something new today (how to read the extension thinger in glxinfo

These drivers solved the screen corruption problems I was having with the x1950pro and the 8.32.5 release.

FIX MY BLOODY AGP CARD YOU BLOODY DRIVER!!!!


Now that that is out of the way... I really hope this is the one to do it.

It's so bad it's not even funny. I want my 3d acceleration back!

i wish we could vote on which bugs they should resolve first :]

is there any way to know what are they working on right now?

i'm looking forward to having my card working with opensource radeon driver, though. (i have r500 card). i don't care too much for 3d acceleration, but 2d acceleration is a must for me.

8.33.6 with 2.6.20

Soo... i guess nobody got it running with 2.6.20 ? How sad...

$ sudo module-assistant build,install fglrx
gives me...

...
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/fglrx modules
make[1]: Betrete Verzeichnis '/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-rc6'
CC [M] /usr/src/modules/fglrx/firegl_public.o
/usr/src/modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:198: error: expected declaration specifiers or ?...? before ?mlock?
/usr/src/modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:198: error: expected declaration specifiers or ?...? before ?addr? ...

This is a 2.6.20 specific error, or not?

The Linux 2.6.20 kernel requires a patch for fglrx. I mentioned a link to the patch in another thread in this forum, but if you can't find it let me know and I'll relocate it.
