Listmates,
The new ATI driver Release 8.10 (Version 8.542). I have installed it and I'm still looking at it. I've notice a bit of unexplained sluggishness when compared to the 8.532 driver. I would be interested in feedback on others experience.
Ok, There is an issue here. Under the new 8.10 driver glxgears yields 532 FPS and applications seems to be sluggish opening. I reinstalled the 8.9 driver and glxgears yields 1004 FPS and applications are back to opening as usual. I used the same xorg.conf with both driver installs and I inspected Xorg.0.log on each occasion for any additional clues as to what could be going on, but there were no surprises in the log file. I suspect changes have been made to support the newer 3800 and 4800 level cards that may be having adverse affect on older card performance under the driver. This is supposition. However, that only heightens my curiosity as to what other see with this new driver. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
