New ATI drivers out 7.11 aka 8.43.x

[Dark Defender]

And so the new drivers (Catalyst 7.12) are out. Hopefully they'll reach portage soon. I hope that I will finally manage to get AIGLX with xorg-server-1.4. Probably good time to start a new thread.
Cheers,

Wojtek

Yepp.

Also it seems like the fixed they memleak and soname bug. Also FireGL is now supported

[ok]

It's me again. I have everything working okay except some library issue apparently. Running a duel head system produces this output from fglrxinfo

3d is working but things are just a little buggy with this problem. it seems related to duel head as if I go single the problem goes away.

Did you solved it? I have the same issue (dual head):

works with ~8.443.1

[RMX]

Hello,
I'm using 8.443.1 drivers. I have DRI working etc, but I have problems with composite, it is really slow. I'm using xfce composite manager (but I'm getting the same problem with xcompmgr) and even if all the effects are off - it's still very slow. For example, if I minimize firefox window and try to maximize it - it takes about 1-2 seconds. I've noticed that the bigger the window is, the slower it restores. When I disable composite - everything runs fast and smooth. Maybe you'll have ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks.

EDIT: by the way, when I boot up ubuntu livecd (it has beryl compiz I guess), it's running fast as it should, with all the effects.

[ok]

I tried composite with KDE, display the KMenu or other windows was really slow, too. I didn't search for a solution, i just turned it off and now KDE runs with normal speed. If you find a hint, could you post it please?
