WTF, I expected the link to go to somewhere like here.

I'm done with this phoronix site. I am tired of obfuscated information sources, obnoxious ad overlays, and a general lack of respect for the...

Me too. Similar hardware should yield similar results.

So, people that use the new driver and kernel don't have proof that the results are wrong, but their experience says they're wrong.

Now,...

The author doesn't know. This article is completely mislabeled. It's comparing Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10 alpha 3. No other conclusion can be drawn.

Way too many variables changed to know where...

My advice is if you need a HTPC, go NVidia. NVidia's VDPAU API for video acceleration is in boxee, mythtv and xmbc. With VDPAU, even the puny Intel Atom processor can handle 1080p.

My HTPC has a...

Can't answer your question, but there's a recent thread here

Seems like an improvement when briefly tested on the Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 3 Live CD.

So who has benchmarks that compare this release with the previous ones?

It is a little tool I like to use. I have a 965 chip, thanks.

So what's not working?

I was never able to pin it down. Plus, had an additional plasma freeze later. My taskbar becomes unresponsive while some windows are fine. Eventually, it all craters.

Running with a clean...

At first glance, my problems seem to apparmor related. Disabling it seems to be the cure-all.

Plasma is still locking up on me :confused:

I had my entire gui freeze yesterday using KDE 4.3RC1. I too am using the backport ppa.

What's a minor deadlock? You can still SSH in?

Thanks for the link.

We're all too busy recompiling our kernels to comment...

Has anyone seen any information on the target platform for KDE 4.3? Something like a recommended or minimum hardware requirement?

I'm much more of a fan of Ruby, but based on my casual observations, it seems that Python has more bindings for 3rd party libraries than any other scripting language. Perl being a close 2nd.

Here's some feedback...

I don't know what changed (yet) between the previous version and 2:2.7.99.901+git20090611.6d062e9e-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty, but the latest seems a lot snappier.

In summary, it's the best benchmark ever, except that it doesn't mean anything.
