Ok, after disabling PAT in the kernel everything seems to work ok with these drivers (at least everything that worked ok with 8.5). My previous rant was a bit premature. No more hardlocks when exiting X, no more weird screen corruptions without compiz, and overdrive is a nice feature.
Now the only things that remain to be fixed/added (for me) are:
- xv: washed colors
- xv: flickering when windowed with desktop effects enabled
- xv: tearing
- opengl apps: screen corruption with desktop effects enabled (at least with windowed apps, haven't tried in fullscreen)
and the driver will be perfect (assuming that the infamous wine bug 13335 is wine's fault).
