I wish I could say the same... But Catalyst never worked well for me. It was freezing my system here and there. The last time I installed 9-6, opened KDE 4.2.4 settings (wanted to check out if I...

People who live in countries with such low hardware prices are lucky. :-)

I've been thinking about that but... Actually, GTX260-216 is too expensive for my needs. It costs ~230$ here while ASUS 1024Mb "ENGTS250 Dark Knight/HTDI" is ~170$. So I decided to buy 250 which is...

I mean it's relatively expensive (compared to 4650 etc or some nVidia cards).

It makes sense to buy ~4850 if you
1. use Windows to play modern games
2. and Linux only to watch movies, browse...

Using nVidia is good idea. I recently replaced ATI 4850 card with nVidia 250 card and I was impressed with nVidia's proprietary driver quality. ATI's hopeless Cataclysm sucks in everything, ATI's...

OSS driver is not as bad as Cataclysm/fglrx. It misses some very important features (3D, fan speed control) but at least it doesn't freeze my system after doing this or that. In 2D and video playback...

Does this new catalyst support 2.6.30 kernel?

Hi! Sorry for little offtopic (anther type artifacts on Radeon 4850). Can you take a look at this thread?

Do you know, is it a bug in ati OSS...

Can anyone help with this problem? In many QT4 applications I see black box over cursor. Check out the screenshot ("/media/music/New" in the top-left):

I switched from radeonhd to radeon driver and now playing videos with Totem loads CPU far not that much (~35% -> ~10% on my "test ones"). Looks like Xv is working fine. Kernel is 2.6.30 too.
...

How did you get Xv to work? What driver do you use? What's your xorg.conf settings?

I'm also missing fan speed control, it's very important for me because by default it's too noisy.

It doesn't help me with 9.4 driver. I get system freeze when going to fullscreen with Compiz 7.6 & Totem & Gstreamer & XV. In 9.3 it was much more stable - only video freeze (and even in ~1/2 cases,...

I don't have CC-PPVGA-6 right now but I'll get it back soon and pastebin the log.

I bought Gembird CC-PPVGA-6 VGA cable to connect my ASUS 4850 card to Acer AL1913 monitor. But after I connected it and booted into Linux, I got system freeze with black screen. I couldn't switch to...

Looks like kaffeine doesn't freeze the system anymore when using fglrx 9.1 with xine xv-output (plain KDE 3.5.9, no compiz). Finally I can say big thanx to the driver devs :-)

Well, I get about 60 °C after aticonfig --pplib-cmd 'set fanspeed 0 100' command. But before this command the temperature is about 80-90 60 °C. Perhaps your card's fan is already running at full...

I hope not so amazing and not so many. With 8.11 I got really slow 3D in some wine applications. With 8.12 3D performance was fixed but 2D got broken (Battle For Wesnoth 1.5.7 started to work very...

I get 59-61 C with 50% but still it's much better than 80+ C. Thanx for your help :)

Thanx for your advice. :-) I haven't found any way to control the fan speed yet but maybe I'll find the solution in Google later.
