Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[0xBADCODE]

arma2-free crash with a black-screen on the current radeon driver with the oibaf ppa.

a hard reset is needed.

is there any suggestion to fix that problem ?

Looks like if you have been hit by more or less the same bug as I did. As for me I had to revert to default Ubuntu drivers temporarily since current version could lockup GPU in unrecoverable manner while running OpenGL games and it's quite easily reproducibe, unfortunately. GPU would not recover: after recovery attempt the very same problem happens immediately so GPU recovery happens every 10 seconds without any real success.

This was already reported in previous post. A fix was committed and I just updated the PPA, packages will be ready in a hour.

It still crash the only difference is now it does not need a hard-reset now I can restart in the console .

The desktop turns into a useless every 10 second crash and recovery mess.

I take some pictures with my camera and started the game in the console for the error messages:

"fixme:d3d:state_zfunc d3dcmp_notequal and d3dcmp_equal do not work correctly yet"
"EE r600_shader.c:5092 TGSI:endif - if/endif unbalanced in shader"
"Warning: R600 LLVM backend does not support indirect adressing. Falling back to TGSI backend "
"Fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8"

Anyone got to install those drivers successfully on Ubuntu 12.10?
I would appreciate if anyone could inform if any change is need to be added or removed into the installation instructions at the OP.
Thanks!
