Description Hans Meier 2011-01-03 09:01:35 UTC

I love Ati, KMS and OpenSource, but this Radeon Driver is at the Time not usable. I hope this will be better in the Future.

I do'nt wish to use binary blow ati-drivers. At the moment in PC is my old nVidia cards. I am waiting for better Radeon Driver.

If I will switch Programs, there is higher CPU usage of /usr/bin/X to 100% and Sound don't works then. A minut or two this happens. This is very often. I have this seen with htop.

In Fluxbox I ca'nt use normaly Mouse to call Fluxbox Menu. This is for all Commands too.

Very often I have had X Server segfault and crach. I can't use good 3D games (Vega Strike) and many 2D ar'nt the best.

Have 5830 Ati Radeon Evergreen, have DRM and Kernel Confiuration for Radeon and KMS.

Regards,

I have all 9999 Versions and Kernel is adjusted for KMS according to

Comment 1 Alex Deucher 2011-01-03 22:25:36 UTC

the 2D segfaults are probably the same issue as bug 32188.  The other issues should have separate bugs.
