[opensuse] ATI/AMD Catalyst 8.9 Driver Available
Listmates, The new ATI Radeon driver is out. http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html First reports: Interesting new messages are written to /var/log/Xorg.0.log while it's running. (Magic Cookie ....) The messages are written frequently every second or so. Enough that if you have the log file open in kate, you have to reload almost immediately. I have never seen this before with a fglrx driver. Also notable is that glxgears frame rates are 300-400 frame rates slower than with the 8-8 driver. I presume the decrease in frame rate is due to activity of the driver writing the new output to the Xorg.0.log file. Other than that it seems to run fine. Let me know your experiences with the driver and also, see if you can confirm the additional output to Xorg.0.log. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
