Hi,
I did try the radeonhd driver on my laptop. The debian/experimental packages did not work directly (had to add the info of conntest and rebuild) but the latest git seem to work out of the box.
Good! Using dirstro packages ATM you always risk using stale bits that have the issues you are seeing fixed already.
There is although a need for some video memory cleaning before drawing initial screen, it's no big deal but could make a bad impression on 'standard' users :)
Right. Since the driver is still experimental this is not such a huge issue ATM.
The only major problems i have right now is when connecting the laptop on the port replicator (haven't tried the included VGA output) to use the DVI output. The screen seems to be correctly detected and the video is sent to both monitor in clone mode, but the resolution used is the smallest available. The fglrx driver used the best resolution of the two screen and activated the X11 virtual screen on the smallest one.
Yes, we don't do that (yet). It's a know limitation to the driver. Cheers, Egbert. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
