I have installed 8.42.3 by downloading it from AMD's site. I am using an ATI Xpress 200 on my Compax laptop.
Everything seemed to work fine, except the 2D rendering is laggy. AIGLX did in fact work and OpenGL 3D DRI seemed to be improved. My fps for fglrx_gears and glxgears improved greatly (I know.. I know... not a good way to benchmark) However, the 2d rendering is just too kludgey and slow. I will be waiting for 8.43 or 8.44 Besides, I could care less about AIGLX. :) On 11/1/07, Elimar Riesebieter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thu, 01 Nov 2007 the mental interface of > Jonathan Kaye told: > > > Elimar Riesebieter wrote: > > > > > On Thu, 01 Nov 2007 the mental interface of > > > Davide Mancusi told: > > > > > >> 2007/11/1, Jonathan Kaye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > >> > 1.
