It is amusing that the only driver that works is the one they don't "officially support".

Maybe with releases like this, we should be glad they almost never release "betas".

What kind of a crappy QA process churns out a driver that crashes like this? If anyone from AMD reads this, you do actually _load_ the driver and kick it around for 10 minutes, right? I mean, that's all it would take for it to crash the system hard.

Doesn't even start for me....

WTF?! Worked in 11.6

Enough has already been said about this release. I'm back on the OSS drivers for now, and wishing they had just a bit better 3D support. Really good 3D performance is pretty much the only thing the blob has going for it.

And very good power management, which is the only reason I use Fglrx instead of the oss drivers.

Blocking Intel+AMD hybrid systems when they worked before seems like an anti-feature. What a load of BS... Actually, the whole hybrid GPU concept is dumb. A modern GPU should be able to shut off unnecessary hardware and undervolt/clock at idle.

I have the same problem with FC14. I use Catalyst to avoid overheating on my laptop. It was agonizingly difficult to downgrade from 11.9 to 11.7. Details here:

http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...54#post1519254

Version 11.9 reports:
ukiOpenByBusid: ukiGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0
(WW) PowerXpress feature is not supported on A+I Mux platform. Please uninstall fglrx driver.

At which point X gives up, finding no devices. With Catalyst 11.7, it instead says:
ukiOpenByBusid: ukiGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0
(II) AMD Video driver is running on a device belonging to a group targeted for this release

It could be like this:

For new hardware, you're stuck, though?

So many complaining about this release, either bugs or regressions, or both...

This is an ongoing trend with AMD/ATI and Linux support. So, either go through this motion or wait for FOSS support (and features limitations).... that's basically the attitude of AMD towards Linux. Doesn't look like it's changing anytime soon.... it's been like that, seems forever.

- i've also tested it on xorg-server

Copy & paste spambot!

And another.

Three spambots in this thread alone. Hey Michael how about some cleaning? I've reported several copy&paste spambots, but I see they're still here. So do you want us to report spammers or not?

Copy&paste spambot = Copies some text from the first page in the thread to hide from bot filters.
