AMD solve the Wine Problem with Cat/Fglrx 9-4alpfa

I reckon it's Bridgman under the influence ;)

Can someone PLZ send me that awesome 9.4 driver so that I can end my headaches and start watching videos FULL SCREEN without or leeser crashes.As read this version is something that could lightup AMD's face.

Stop flaming each other. If this thread remains off-topic or flaming continues, it will be locked. If any URLs to any leaked drivers are posted, this thread will be locked.

Good call. Guys, if you really must, just send a PM.

Btw, Qaridarium is a great guy! A nice change from the pessimism and cynisism on these forums. :)

[tball]

So anybody tried it out with QW? Does it produce black a screen like when I run it?

[nadro]

the point is a X1950 can't handel DX9C+Nvidia-extansion on WINDOWS!

so the X1950 with OpenGL2.1 on linux can't handel DX9C+nvidia-extansions on WINE!

and WINE is an spezial part of software ! WINE use OpenGL3 right now in the RADEON Code Padh!

Yes, on ATI cards only some NV extension are avaiable (eg. 3 for 1950 and 4 for 4850), but NV extensions isn't required for getting DX 9.0c effects in OGL 2.1! On ATI cards You have got ARB and EXT version of extensions required for simulate DX 9.0c effects! So I don't understand why WINE use OpenGL 3.0 in Radeon codepath, I think this is't a true (On 99,9% it isn't true), because all OpenGL 3.0 features aren't usage on current WINE Dx 9.0c applications.

You say about working SM3.0 effects on OGL2.1 only with NV extensions (it's not true!) and working this effects also on Radeons with support OpenGL 3.0, but these Radeons also don't have NV extensions! You are in wrong if You think, than on Radeon X1950 You can't simulate DX 9.0c effects, of course You can simulate all these effects ;) And next time please don't write wrong informations...

[jonnycat26]

o yes.. i have a real option for you wait for the release !


You said the same thing about 9-2. And 9-2 sucked so hard it could suck start a B-52.

The correct answer for the fglrx driver is always: wait for the next release and deal with the suck drivers in the meantime.

ok nice writing-- But! 9-4 never comes out for the R500 X1950!

and 9-4 are the only driver how kills the Wine Bug!

so my Writing is True !

Be Happy! 9-4 kills the most of the bugs realy! ...

on my system 9-2 sucks to if i look a DVD its crashes my system!

i'm sorry abaut your 9-2 feeling I'M not use stable drivers!

in my Feeling BETA Drivers are much Better!

but i think its true betas not for everyone!

Hurray to Michael!

And thank you very Much :)

I think for AMD users there starts a new Age of Happynes!

The Catalyst starte to be Rockstable! NO Crashes!

The NEW AGE starts now its starts here!

[storma]

I'm not so sure. Mythfrontend plays fine but when I put anything in front of it, playback lags something shocking. Was fine with 9.2.

Atm I'm putting it down to the alpha status but I'm afraid 9.4 is looking like my turning point if fglrx doesn't impress me enough. :(

Help to find your Bug!

have you try this ? :aticonfig --initial

can you please post your OS and System ?

do you use 32bit or 64bit ?

[alazyworkaholic]

What ATI wine problem? My 4670 with 8.12 worked as well as I could hope. Anything platinum rated in wine's appdb worked as expected (Tiberian Sun, RR Tycoon 3, Red Faction etc). I got as far as running far cry pretty well on low res/effects but that's more a limitation of my lightweight card anyway right?
Put together my 1st Linux computer with ATI & am perfectly happy :) (No more pricy windows! :D )
What was the problem that I don't think I ever had?

[storma]

I have tried aticonfig --initial, no luck.

Debian Lenny 64bit
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ stepping 03
ATI 4870 512M
4G ram.
Asus M3A-H/HDMI
Compiz on.

EDIT: Ah, it's no biggy, switching off compiz for mythtv fixes it. :)

Has anyone tested 9.4 with xserver 1.6.0?

[Vighy]

Has anyone tested 9.4 with xserver 1.6.0?

good question! it's easy to do! just pick up a ubuntu 9.04 and try! :D

[Qaridarium]

good question! it's easy to do! just pick up a ubuntu 9.04 and try! :D

the answer is easy to it does not work.. i think the final 9-4 can handle this

[tball]

the answer is easy to it does not work.. i think the final 9-4 can handle this

Have you tried QW, or can I please ask you to try their demo or savage 2 demo? Just to see if you got texture problems with 9.4.

[Vighy]

the problem is that it's not possible to find this interesting release.

[rbmorse]

Hummmm....I'm just thinking about if I were searching for something on the Internet, how I would go about it? What tools would I use? Would perhaps a really, really big search provider be productive? Would I want to use a generic term or be as precise as I could...maybe even down to using something as specific as a version number or file name if I knew it? And, if I didn't know the file name what would I do? But, I have to move on. As the late Paul Harvey used to say, "Page....TWO!"

Does anyone know what this "Google" dialog box thing is that keeps showing up on my browser is for? Does it serve any useful purpose or is it some form of malware?

for wine you need OpenGL3 !

Just making sure this was said at least once during the message chain: that claim is utter crap. You don't need anything more than OpenGL 2 to normally run Wine. You might need a few OpenGL extensions like FBO's for some modern games but you *do not* need the whole OpenGL 3. This is a bit like saying every game requires DX11. (Which I've heard to be the rough equivalent of OpenGL 3)

[tball]

Forget everything bad I said about this driver :-)
I said earlier, that there is problems running QW and savage2. Thats simply not true. I found out I got the same problem with 9.2... After a completely reinstall, everything works very fine! I have never ever got so smooth QW. I can even run it faster than in Vista.

With HD3650 mobility and 1280x800 i run QW beautiful with high settings. Nice. Thank you amd. Before with 9,2 I could only run the game in 1024x768 and with slightly lower settings.

[hpestilence]

I decided to try this driver and it fixes the /usr/lib64 hardcode path that I was forced to use in Arch Linux so that's good. Doesn't fix my EVE Online problems though, hopefully it's fixed in a later 9.4 or 9.5 driver.

[borkdox]

If anyone has/seen the juicy XXXXXXX release PM me please, tnxx. :)

[GreekGeek]

Hi guys, ditto on the PLEASE PM me, for this wee beastie of a file.

Resizing windows is still SLOW and LAGGY with composite enabled (kwin4). It is pretty fast with composite disabled. Besides that, pretty solid driver. Cheers to AMD.

I got a HD4850.

Resizing is slow even in radeon with EXA, in both Compiz and KDE. Compiz is far worse however. It's not entirely the drivers that are at fault here.

[tball]

Hmm mine is fast. Did you install it correct?

What does glxinfo say?

what is your problem ?? in fakt you need a hd2000 and up VGA for wine...

Yes you don'T neet the full openGL3... only some extensions YESYESYES.. but YES this lidle extensions makes the Point!

Thanks for all the Informations in this thread!!

thank you guys

Hi. I tested this "magnificent" driver (9.4 Rc1) .
I tested smplayer with enabled composite and XV. I had hard dead lock system (when i resized window with video)!
So. Where stability is? I didn`t see any stabilize.
Under wine I still have problem with texture handler. ( I see one strange texture in left lower corner).

I have: radeon HD 2600 pro, wine 1.1.16, Xorg 1.4.x.
best regards,
Patryk

Hey smartass, you think we haven't fucking googled the filename? There's literally NOTHING THERE! Just one torrent... with zero seeders!

to one of the file there comes the other file!

its a signature hack to the beta driver to fix the Beta-driver-logo problem!

[shv1]

Torrent is working now :)

[Qaridarium]

Hey smartass, you think we haven't fucking googled the filename? There's literally NOTHING THERE! Just one torrent... with zero seeders!
/me smashes you in the face with an R600-based laptop.
Edit: Oh, and "Page.....TWO!" also has NOTHING!

Please be HAPPY :-)

there are 2 files out in the wild!

one of the the orginal AMD file..

one of them the signatur cracket version to fix the amd-beta-logo

[Qaridarium]

I was commenting on the smartass response more than anything else. =þ
"Durrrh, go google it!" -- yeah, really. Smartass responses like that seriously deserve a punch in the face.

come one be Happy!

[energyman]

ok, I will be happy.

[Qaridarium]

ok, I will be happy.

nice :) fine fine fine fine thinks comes :)

[energyman]

indeed. Looks like 9.4 will be a very fine release. Only ~4 weeks to wait...

[RealNC]

I wish I was as optimistic too. I'm still tied to 9.1. 9.2, 9.3* and 9.4* are not working on my 4870 anymore.

* From the "dark places".

[Qaridarium]

i think the real 9-4 release will be much better beourse this was the first 9-4 alpfa ever build! ,,,

there is a second one 8.601_RC2 with a lot of bug fixes!

and i think there will be a 8.602 beta to! and the final release!

try to uninstall it and install it with kano's installer...

i think kano know a lot abaut fglrx bugs... .

[RealNC]

I don't think Kano's installer is supposed to work on Gentoo. I'm using Gentoo's "installer" (ebuild).

[RealNC]

I can't find anything I didn't already know in it :P The driver gets installed OK. But it's simply broken with KDE4 compositing. The last one that works is 9.1.

[ig-88]

my xserver crashes badly when i use Xvideo & compisiting. any ideas?
i use ubuntu 8.10. xorg.conf has no config-options set.

[Tares]

As for me, the only thing I've noticed that my temperature readings are back.

EDIT :
okay, savage2 feels much more smoother, mainly cause of the fps increase, something like 10-15fps (HD4850).

Anyway, one thing is bugging me, if this 9.4RC is stripped from support for legacy cards, why it's bigger than 9.2 ? :D

[Qaridarium]

its bigger becourse they hold more files in it to support debian and xorg 7.2 7.3 they hat dev some xorg7.4 stuff and backport it to the 7.3 for debian!!!

so overall they support more platformes and have a much much better driver becourse the driver do not fail if there diverenz programm versions!

for me i use debian SID the driver works much better becourse the driver have more own files that not linket on the system files...

[Dinth]

Is there any patch removing "Testing use only"? Where can i find it?

On my system (Arch x64 with KDEmod 4.2.1 and Qt4.5), unfortunately scrolling and resizing windows in kwin is much slower than on 9.2 catalysts.

You have to copy signature file from official release to /etc/ati ;-)

Hmm anybody know any patch I should patch wine with to get it working properly with fglrx? I can't get any direct3d apps to run.

yes... my english is bad but my nativ language german is bad to!

he can use the cracket installer if he want...

but yes the torrent file is not cracket

[energyman]

I don't think Kano's installer is supposed to work on Gentoo. I'm using Gentoo's "installer" (ebuild).

copy&rename the 582 ebuild. Change SRC_URI to this:
SRC_URI="${ATI_URL}/ati-driver-installer-8.60_RC1-x86.x86_64.run"
remove the xen-patch from the ebuild (look for epatch)
copy the files directory
copy the installer to /usr/portage/distfiles (or whereever your DISTDIR) resides
ebuild ebuild.ebuild manifest

and then update the driver:
quit X
eselect opengl set xorg-x11
emerge -u ati-drivers
eselect opengl set ati
reboot

Can someone please run a direct3d app with wine? And see if they are able to do that.

Someone should test Oblivion. This is propably one of most problematic games under fglrx, which work perfect on other drivers.

I haven't had breakages on any game in wine since the upgrade.

For a kernel-related issue like this the most useful messages are usually in the dmesg output.

I've gone back to 2.6.26 + fglrx for now.

I will recreate and grab the dmseg thing then & post.

I don't think fglrx 9.3 supports kernel 2.6.29

[GreekGeek]

Hi Yall,

thanks for that Tball and yes, I did know. :-)

So, I tried out the leaked 9.4-RC1, with a the latest official Debian 2.6.29-2 and that also failed to build....

@ Bridgman, I think the Debian guys, are on some sort of "new fangled way" of doing things, that breaks much stuff, according to this....

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=521515

You see this Kano?

I think I will stick with 2.6.26, for a bit.

Hi Yall,
thanks for that Tball and yes, I did know. :-)
So, I tried out the leaked 9.4-RC1, with a the latest official Debian 2.6.29-2 and that also failed to build....


9-5 catalyst will solf the 2.6.29 problem!
