Hi. I am very grateful of this Radeon Open Source graphics driver with my 7970 DirectCU II TOP card. I can play Empire: Total War and enable maximum graphical settings. If and when Napoleon: Total War is released I will buy AMD R9 Fury X, if that is needed in order to play the game with full settings.
As for now, fuck you Nvidia

A big Thank You to all you devs for all your hard work. Me and my 2 Fury X's eagerly await the unveiling of the AMDGPU driver. Bought 2 as an extra Thank you to AMD.Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety,deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

With LLVM you fix them, but then you have to wait for an LLVM release, and worry about different mesa/llvm version combinations, etc. Having it be self-contained definitely makes things simpler in that respect.
Certainly building mesa with bleeding edge llvm seems like it would be dangerous, but building it with a specific commit updated every month or so might work well.Test signature

Best moment for me was when I completely reinstalled Kubuntu on my AMD E-450 powered netbook and decided to really try out the free drivers first before installing Catalyst. And it ran great, felt the as snappy as with Catalyst. A short Wiki-read let me find out that VDPAU was supported and I was blown away by that, because I could now run XBMC on the netbook. Compared to an Nvidia -card running with VDPAU the E-450 is only lacking in deinterlacing- and scaling-quality, otherwise it's perfect.
Great work by all the developers involved!
On my desktop PC I still can't use Linux with all my displays, because I have an onboard HD 4250 plus a dedicated HD 3850 running in ATI's Surround View mode to be able to run 4 displays. Surround View sadly doesn't work on Linux, so it's either HD 4250 or HD 3850 and two displays only, which is why I still use Windows 7 on that machine mainly.
