I use fglrx driver 10.8 from amd site and delay very big.
Gentoo ati-driver already has this patch? |
nope, and it also won't get into the tree in the future
10.8 already has the new 2D/3D acceleration framework (in contrast to the old XAA-based one where you needed the patch)
so you don't need the patch
if you still want to use the old way:
set up a local overlay to apply the patch to your xorg-server version or follow the instructions above
then disable the new acceleration and force the old one (which needs the patch):
| Code: | | aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE |

How to examine that new acceleration enabled? I did aticonfig --initial but maximizing a window is very slow with compositing.
And i have only xorg opengl.
| Code: |
$ eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] xorg-x11 *

so it's not installed correctly:
you need to install the catalyst-driver via portage (e.g. emerge ati-drivers)
and then set the opengl-backend of the catalyst/ati-driver:
| Code: | | eselect opengl set ati |
which then should say:
| Quote: | eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] ati *
[2] xorg-x11
|
note that it later also should say something like:

Hardware 3D works good.

This will break your system. |

| Because the ebuild installs files in different places than the official installer. It then uses eselect opengl to move the files around. If you use the official installer, this mechanism can break. You then have to know how to fix it. |

| I have many problems with ati-drivers. If i uninstall official driver then ati-driver doesn`t build(linker errors). If i install official driver then ati-driver builds success and "ati opengl" appears. But with it all works very slow and compositing doesn`t work. With "xorg opengl" X doesn`t start. Only official driver works normally. |

That's because using the official installer broke your system; the ebuild can't work correctly anymore. Like I said, you now need to fix your system  |

Uninstalling fglrx and removing all traces of it from the system. Unfortunately, I don't know what fglrx installs because I'm not using fglrx at all anymore  I switched to xf86-video-ati. |
