Ubuntu 15.10 Is Coming This Week & AMD's Catalyst Chokes On Its Kernel

[MVinhas]

RadeonSI is so cool that I don't even bother about fglrx. HD5770+Ubuntu 15.04+kernel 3.19+Mesa 10.5.9 here. I hope Ubuntu 15.10 don't mess my ETS2, is running well @1440x900 and Medium/High settings.

(said earlier that it can also run Bioshock Infinite at good settings, but that was at the time I played that and it indeed needs fglrx).

Debian fglrx packages are missing for example amdpcsdb.default file so it unusable like it has been several years.

Where is the bug about missing amdpcsdb.default file? Better fill a bug instead of trolling.

See your /etc/ati dir. Of course you have it like you have Kaveri (without graphics card) working with debian fglrx;-)

See my /etc/dick and Fuck Off.

Did a bit of research and actually seems like i'm not using radeonsi but radeon only. Afaik, radeonsi is used on Southern Islands and newer cards. Does my card support OpenGL 4.1 with Mesa 11.0?

I know this is not the right topic, but since I was here...

See: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/

Guess that "3.3/4.x" means full OpenGL 3.3 compliance and some 4.x features.

Your card uses the radeon kernel driver, the radeon x driver, and the r600 Gallium3D driver aka r600g (mesa/src/gallium/drivers/r600).

IIRC 3.3/4.x means that the chip is capable of 4.x but current support is at 3.3. If you check mesamatrix.net you will see that all of the 4.1 features are finished but one 4.0 feature is still being worked on (tesselation shader) so the highest "complete" OpenGL level is 3.3:

Thank you, well explained

According to the most recent posts in the bugzilla entry on CCHTML for this bug:

http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189

Someone was able to get the latest proprietary drivers working on the 4.2 kernel by downgrading gcc
