Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[NightmareMan]

I also have my HD7770 from MSI. I asked their support about this problem but they said that they can't do anything

Btw my videocard has 1 strange point: when drivers are not installed , it's cooler works on 100% power, that makes noise. When I used proprietary AMD's driver, there wasn't such issue and cooler was quiet.
With this drivers it works on 100% and I think something didn't setup completely... And also with this drivers Steam gives me OpenGL error when I launch it.

I have the same problem with a R9 270. Here's some background information:

I guess we'll have to wait for a kernel update? Or maybe enabling dpm in the boot-config helps for you - it didn't make a change for my card though.
You could also try some of the new kernels; maybe they work better for your card (I don't believe it but it's probably worth a try). I testet my system up to 3.15 rc3 without a change in fan speed.

So I switched back to fxglr 14.4 which is way more silent and works with all the games but has horrible 2d-performance and some graphics glitches.

The driver situation for "modern" ATI cards (some of them several years old) is very very unsatisfactory at the moment. My personal solution: I'll sell my card as soon as I lose my patience and buy one from nvidia.

Anyone know how to get the temperature with these drivers? Sensors doesn't show my Radeon HD 6370m.

If you mean the open radeon drivers:
(sudo) sensors-detect

Afterwards you can use the gathered sensors with lm-sensors for example.

Tried that and got this.

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +49.0?C  (crit = +99.0?C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +43.0?C  (high = +80.0?C, crit = +90.0?C)
Core 2:       +37.0?C  (high = +80.0?C, crit = +90.0?C)

Anyone know if the PTE patch is included with these drivers?

[commiethebeastie]

It is a patch for a kernel, instead of mesa

Update LLVM to point release?

Hi Oibaf,

Just wandering if you could update and use to compile the point release of LLVM 3.4.1? Thanks

It doesn't properly build, currently: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/test/+packages

latest update hosed my system

As a result of upgrading a few hours ago my desktop would freeze whenever I scroll for a few second or moving windows around. Ubuntu 13.10 with intel ironlake graphic. Purged ppa and now back to normal.
