I've been using Tormod's -ati git20090305.5dc4b69f packages on RV670 for the last few days with kernel modules compiled according to the instructions from the RadeonHD wiki. I switched to the -ati package in main yesterday, so far no difference.
KDE4's desktop effects work when using XRender, they are a bit slow though, but usable. Xv acceleration works great and is a huge improvement in comparison to Fglrx and older open source drivers because it gives me tear free video playback. It would be great to get the kernel bits into Jaunty and to have out-of- the-box 2D and video acceleration on all ATI Radeon chips. BTW, I also tried installing the latest drivers on my Hardy installation. The drivers installed fine, but I got really slow scrolling, especially in Firefox and Yakuake (KDE3 Konsole). I blamed my Fglrx and old X.org installation, a clean Jaunty installation gave no problems at all. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
