Core i5 2500K has no Hyper Threading. It's a pure 4-core/4-thread part.

It's Caicos, and not Calcos.

AFAIK the XA state tracker is just an interface for DDX drivers (like vmwgfx) that exposes common acceleration paths (like XRender) through gallium pipe drivers. It's versioned unlike gallium, so one...

I have related note about radeon temperature.

Temperature readings of my Radeon HD3870 have increased by a fair bit some time ago (I have no idea when exactly). Earlier it was ~35*C in idle, but...

Wayland doesn't use something called "window manager". With X11, apps only draw contents of windows, and frame + title bar is drawn by window manager. With Wayland, like e.g. MS Windows, apps draw...

I'm a programmer, so I will concentrate here on kdelibs :)

KSharedDataCache is very impressive. In fact, I was experimenting with something similar not so long time ago. Even some implementation...

IMO the strange performance in 1024x768 and 1280x1024 resolutions is a bug in the drivers. Was everything tested on the same stack (including Catalyst version)? Anyway, HD4290 should be faster than...

Well... Modern systems and stacks just *are* complex, and it's impossible to overcome this. But I agree with you in terms of documentation. There are some bits of it here and there, but some of them...

Gallium3D == OpenGL 2.1. Even r600g claims it supports that version...

The best part of this blog post:



Portal tells the truth :)

Guess what? Downgrading helped. This driver now supports 2.6.31, 2.6.34, 2.6.35... Wait, where is 2.6.32?

The second possibility - Ubuntu patched 2.6.32 to make it better -> break it with binary...

Of course I meant to downgrade to 2.6.31 (loving this time-to-edit limit... Just wondering how many times it needs to be repeated to fix this *BUG*)

I'm unable to get fglrx 10.6 working on my stock Ubuntu Lucid machine. I'm using Kano's script (without it I get tons of oopses and kernel panic). It still causes oops on kernel module load,...

There is no such thing called "gallium3D open-source ATI driver for Evergreen" :) So it won't be possible...

In detail:
R300-R500: classic dri driver and gallium driver
R600-R700: classic dri...

I'm using r600c driver on RV670 (kernel 2.3.34 + xorg-edgers). No problem seen.

With this command, you just sudo-ed 'echo'. The redirect ('> /sys/...') is still done by shell (bash), which is not sudo-ed. I found once really interesting alternative, using tee:

echo dynpm |...

I suspect that for now the driver isn't going to render anything. Check this commit. Shader compiler is too unstable, I guess.

Don't know if there is much of r600, but for sure they used something from X360's Xenos GPU (which r600 is based on). One thing is tiled rendering (PDF!). However, the whole AMD's mobile graphics...

What about OpenGL 3.3 and 4.0 in official driver? When would it be possible? Or just update preview driver to support xserver 1.7.

Don't worry - 250W is not GPU power consumption (in fact it's very hard to detect it). This is power consumption of the whole testing system for sure. It was using i7, so it bumped wattage "a bit" :)...
