So... Has anyone tried the new drivers? Any changes apart from the version number and xorg support?Comment

Do they actually work or are they shock full of bugs and memory leaks as usual?Comment

Ok then. 4850 was great value for the money years ago, even more so because it is almost perfectly usable card even this day. No matter, have to appreciate it is not /dev/null hardware, thanks to the people who have coded the free driver for it!Originally posted by plantroon View PostComment

That's a bit over-dramatic. You make it sound like Linus and Keith Packard are holding up kernel/X releases waiting for Catalyst to catch up...Originally posted by uid313 View PostComment

Is it transitional Catalyst? It seems to be
I was to think that AMD is to release tranbsitional Catalyst taht works using both fglrx and AMDGPU kernel driver since there were named Catalyst Omega 14.12 driver. It is because Omega is latest member in Greek alphabet. To neme something Omega means that is latest member of any list e.g. list of type of software and next will be revolutiobnary change.
Previous information that AMD is to release new Calayst before sending AMDGPU patch (that generally means no AMDGPU since 4.1 kernel) was ana pro agument of my idea.
and in this article is another one pro arument:
"This driver is significantly larger than Catalyst 14.12, the current stable release,"
And revolution became
"next Catalyst Linux driver release. This driver is needed to support the latest Linux kernel and X.Org Server of Ubuntu 15.04"
as of only 9 days after Ubuntu got 3.19 kenrel officialy we have AMD driver taht was and is yet to be extremnely uncommonm

Answering my own question after running some quick tests.Originally posted by eydee View Post
- General performance is the same as always, they don't even bother anymore
- Wine "support" seems to be fixed
- The video acceleration support introduced in 14.12 is gone/broken
- Still nowhere near windows performance, still nowhere near Radeon performanceComment
