I think withdrawing support for R500 series cards is bad.. they are jus abt 2-3 years old now.. and i'm sure AMD's gr8 catalyst team is gonna continue 2 goof up wonderfully as they have been doing...
wait for OSS support.. it should soon be coming for R600/700 3D.. then you can use compiz to your heart's content without videos tearing.. i too waited (without any use) for ati to fix it on my...
And it'll be christened Windows Cube < ala Windows FLIP (TM) > and will need at least a GTX280/4870X2 to function with WDM2 enabled drivers :P :P
haha! thank god i'm enjoying thank 2 open drivers 4 my x1800.. no more fglrx pains
Hey,
I installed opensuse 11.0 and upgraded my Xserver to 7.4 and Mesa to 7.2. My xf86-video-ati is 6.9.0. Now all i need for OSS R500 3D support is the kernel drm. In Debian all I had to do,...
was this release holding up Xorg 7.4??
hmm didnt notice X11.. X11 is never problematic regardless of player.. Try enabling Xv and watch the tearing start :)
they arent related to the player.. its related to the Xserver and will be fixed with DRI2. Maybe VLC implemented a workaround to disable this flicker (like the mplayer compiz patch does)
Hope Google actually rolls out a native version for Linux and Mac OS X, and it's not just the "we are working on it" crap like we heard from Gtalk. <one of my angsts is that voice chat on gtalk still...
Integrated memory controller ==> on-chip memory controller in my post above. For "everything else" on the motherboard, PCI-express is gud enough. QPI will mean a lot especially on massively multicore...
Ok lets get this right.. Quickpath is NOT the replacement for the PCI-express bus. It's the replacement for the FSB. Quickpath enables the onchip memory controller to interface with the memory. Intel...
ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/iceweasel
Simple solution to all problems ;) I think debian has done such a thing coz when i type firefox, iceweasel launches flawlessly.
Death of the FSB :D Long Live QuickPath
Well one of the research papers I was reading some time back envisons the future processors as much simpler cores (reduces design complications and power draw) tied together by very fast switching...
I find chrome faster for loading Gmail, facebook and all these Web 2.0/AJAX powered sites as compared to Firefox/Opera. But right now it lacks too many features provided by firefox for me. Plus one...
Google rocks.. i feel cuil is overhyped. AFAIK i have found that although cuil claims to have indexed/crawled more pages, the relevance of results returned by google cannot be matched by it. Yahoo!...
I guess radeon already has support for EXA? Pardon me if im mistaken though :)
Guys! on the site AROUND is highlighted. AROUND is open to interpretation. :)
Enabling playback? I am able to play HD video on my Linux machine perfectly well now. No lag/tear on my x1800 with xf86-video-ati. FGLRX also used to render it fine (unless compiz was enabled). Then...
