xf86-video-ati 6.9.0 Released

[Vighy]

Can you test with a movie app other than gmplayer? Like totem for example?

Ehm.. ops... it was my fault: with another player worked properly

but could V-sync be useful? if so, how could I set it?

there's no support for sync to vblank with textured video yet.

Thank you for the explanation! So I should probably blame on Firefox not being so integrated with Linux in general...

Disabling "Continuous scrolling" in Firefox makes scrolling way much faster, so these drivers definitely bettered my "visual experience" in Linux!

Thank you ATi / radeon developers!

question - where should i complain if i get no display on vt switch ( to text console ) and "non preset mode" error on my lcd? also, sometimes on after a couple vt switches my pc locks up with black screen and caps lock and scroll lock leds are blinking.


is it more of a kernel bug, or x.org bug? i use xf86-video-ati, and uvesafb for fb, and i'm not sure which one is to blame.

i *think* i got it - i had to enforce 60hz refresh rate in uvesafb driver. still, that remains to be extensively tested.
