radeonhd with EXA has fast 2D, 3D will initialize and deadlock the laptop soon after. glxgears will run but sometimes kill the laptop when I exit, or once I could still barely move my mouse but nothing useful past that.

This is a known issue that's now fixed in git. Just waiting on a 1.3.1 release to happen when people have enough free time.

First, thanks for the news and the fix. Second, I was curious, would I benefit from using the radeonhd in the future or am I just as well using the radeon one?

Hi all, I upgraded to the radeonhd 1.3.0 using the xorg repository provided by OpenSuse (11.1), and despite the direct rendering is enabled, I cannot enable either compiz or the desktop effects on kde4. To be noted that with the radeonhd 1.2.4 everythink was working fine (but slow). Do you know if should I report this to the OpenSuSe community and/or compiz community? Thanks in advance Regards Antenore On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 2:43 PM, Matthias Hopf wrote:

It depends. If you're happy with your current config stick to the old but true mantra:

 Never change a running system. :)

Maybe you should update your driver. This issue has been fixed a while ago.

Yes, sorry, I'm not running git from yesterday, I suck :) But seriously I'm running a kernel that's a week old and a distribution that came out a month ago. Is your work not being picked up downstream for some reason and people should be running git as the only way to be reasonably up to date?

Haha, good mantra overall :) In that case I was curious if future development for my chip is more likely to happen in the radeonhd branch (like XAA to EXA to UXA or somesuch). Also, I though I'd report problems on a chip that's supposed to be supported by your branch and haven't improved in the last year, but it sounds like you already got to them.
