[FireBurn]

Man, you were really hard pressed to find 8 points to complain about, weren't you? Might as well add "doesn't make me a sandwich" while you're at it.

+1 for this

But I'd like to point out it's

sudo make me a sandwich

Southern Islands, I think.

aka the r900g driver, or whatever they call it.

HDMI audio is implemented (Alex finished a first pass last year), we're just having a heck of a time figuring out if we can release it.

Right now the priorities are SI support, OpenCL and figuring out if we can release some kind of UVD support.

Wasn't HDMI audio reverse engineered and accepted into the kernel already?

I wish better power management was somewhere in that list, but I suppose it's not much more important than those items either.

Is the SI you're using refer to Scalable Interface / Crossfire? Or something else?

Sorry you're right, I forgot I had enabled "rpmfusion-free".

The reason I have a yumfusion alias to "yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion[...]"

Really? Are you sure it isn't from RPM Fusion or something similar?

I'd definitely put OpenCL before Crossfire.

Fedora 16 has a libtxc_dxtn package available in the official repos. Not sure if it's a matter of just installing it and things magically work though...

Edit: yup!! Just installing it (no reboot or anything) fixed WorldWind which used to fail drawing the textures on the globe due to a S3TC error!
