Canonical Publishes ATI Catalyst 8.10 Beta

[thacrazze]

Is this possible that

ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run == 8.54.3

Because I found that version number in my amdcccle (Catalyst Control Center)

I used the 8.10 from AMD Website on Arch Linux/2.6.27 (with patch) and XServer 1.4.2

I think the 8.10 ist the best driver ever for me. Better 2D and 3D Performance.

Tried your script Kano, it installs without problems, but I couldnt get gdm to work. I've received error saying fglrx couldnt be loaded. So as for now I'll stick to the repos 8.11 beta ;x

That's what I get, too

[Tares]

lsmod|grep -e fglrx -e radeon -e drm

check this, only fglrx should be seen loaded, if not reboot. I tested my script with a modified ati installer on intrepid and had the correct output.

fglrx                1813960  28 
agpgart                42184  2 fglrx,intel_agp

Dunno what I have to check in /usr/lib/

I'll try to install the driver manually and use your script Kano ;-)

maybe some symlinks are messed up? check the stuff in /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib32

[Kano]

lsmod|grep -e fglrx -e radeon -e drm

check this, only fglrx should be seen loaded, if not reboot. I tested my script with a modified ati installer on intrepid and had the correct output.

My CCC looks like this :

its in polish, but I've marked the mesa thingy.

Any ideas how to fix it ?

i get something like this too, plus my card is 256megs afaik but only 128 are showed, see screenshot

[Kano]

Not much, maybe it is a part time job

[nphoronix]

Tearing/Flickering still there... Are they even fixing anything...?

[Tares]

Maybe you did install xserver-xgl? Remove that or the fglrx mode way not loaded.

I didn't install that, but to make sure I've checked synaptic and my guess was right. Its not installed.

My system is Ubuntu 8.10 beta + all updates there were released.

EDIT :

The funny thing is, that fglrxinfo returns :

display: :0.0  screen: 0

OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1.8087 Release)
