Open-Source Radeon Driver Improvements

Written by Michael Larabel in Radeon on 11 April 2008 at 11:13 AM EDT. 11 Comments

The RadeonHD crew yesterday released xf86-video-radeonhd 1.2.0 while the xf86-video-ati developers (mainly Alex Deucher) have been working on a few commits for their competing driver. There have been about a dozen commits to this driver tree in the past 24 hours. The changes mostly come down to EXA/TexturedVideo improvements as well as some code cleaning. If you use this driver, be sure to check out the latest development code.
