Seems that 10.10-444 ubuntu driver with xorg 1.9 is working a bit more better for hw accelerated h264 playback on my HD 5650 card, at least now the picture is recognizable even if its still...

+1, v!ncent

That leaves out the tons of other differences, just to name the most important: arch is a rolling distro. That implies a lot of things, good or bad, you decide. :) I'd use Arch anyway. :D

is this for Evergreen, r800?

With patching the kernel dricer part 10.4 beta catalyst compiles fine. I use it with 2.6.33.

As long as fglrx is 5x faster oss driver is for office work.

It's already working with the Xorg GIT version , so in practice FGLRX 10.4 beta (ubuntu leak) IS compatible already with Xorg 1.8 as there were no such changes that prevent that!

Quick report from the Arch Linux Catalyst users:

Vi0L0 extra quickly produced the repo and a PKGBUILD for the new leaked driver. Works great with 2.6.33 (patch needed), 2.6.32 and latest Xorg...

Does kwin work for you?

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst/catalyst/fglrx-2.6.33.patch

Yeah, i remember. i'm just testing things as always, if it got fixed ACCIDENTALLY somehow...

I always had this option on 'true' while testing 10.2. Compiz worked, kwin didnt.

I'm running arch on my notebook with r800. This repository in the post i will link here worked nicely to get quite recent GIT versions from all the related stuff:...

What video card?
