A very good news in my opinion.
This means more ressources will be put on the open source driver, as AMD had better keep a common code base as much as possible between the two ports. And that means...

Indeed, thanks for the work, I also appreciate hugely to be able to use a composited desktop fully on the OSS layer.
Checking fdo git browser, there seems to be little activity on the AMD front on...

That'll be fine for me, I should not use xrandr or DPMS anyway.
On the whole this platform seems quite nice : fast enough, no noise thanks to a fan-less Asus mobo, perfectly recognized by the Linux...

Yep, indeed, now it works.
Thanks a lot!

Well, I'm trying to compile a 3.0.1 kernel on a E350 box, on my Slackware 13.37, and I actually have the exact same issue than Michael in the original article. Except that I have compiled in the...

Well, I don't really see the point of this discussion but, for the record, KDE is rock solid and has always been on my Slackware systems, which are the closest you can get from vanilla KDE sources,...

If this is true, then the timing with AMD's release of fusion APU is perfect.
There will be an open-source compiler that is able to automatically compile for their APUs, using the on-die GPU to...

In the case my post was not clear about that, I understand the above and totally agree with that. I just wanted to point out that there doesn't seem to be such definite "reality" as Marek says, and...

I'd like to see some hard facts supporting this, instead of just the opinion of the most vocal people. I for one consider the added usability of a composited desktop (which is not just "eye candy")...

Well, you can do "rolling stone" with Slack too.
That's called running "slackware-current". You're fairly up to date running it, sometimes even ahead of most distros. It actually very rarely breaks,...

Well, long live Slack.
Being a faithfull user since 2002, I use it on all my systems including laptops. Simple to use, close to upstream, very quickly set up to my taste in usually less than 2 hours...

So in you're opinion, it's easier to be obliged to recompile the whole Mesa to gain a certain feature, than to just install an external librayr that will be dlopened at run time if available?
Sorry,...

Seems to me you could do both : write an article **AND** a bug report.

Please do it, then.
You seem so well suited for the task.

My thoughts exactly. It even seems that Fusion APU will be supported on day 1, so that really seem to be improving a lot.


Well, the cards were one year late, so the devs had plenty of time to...

Well, as far as the kernel is concerned, the distros or the manufacturers can provide an updated libdrm module in binary form built against the kernel version of the distros, this has been done for...

BTW, I think your idea of a piglit test would be indeed great, though I guess it's a lot of work.

Hi, Martin.
First of all, I think everybody in the graphic stack right now aims a moving target, whether you, the graphic driver or the mesa driver and that's certainly not confortable for anyone. I...

As far as I know, KWin runs by default some checks at the start of KDE and disable OpenGL rendering, thus use software rendering, if these checks fails. However, they added an option to the disable...

Maybe you're right.
I happen to like Dragon Player. As far as music is concerned, I use Amarok as dealing with thousands of files which last about 5 minutes is tedious. But for movies, I prefer to...
