Hi all, I just made the switch to catalyst from the open source driver because I need to be able to run X-Plane for my job, and I'd like to see if it improves performance of skyrim through wine on my lower end laptop. It's got a Radeon 6310 with 384mb ram.
I went through the wiki to install the catalyst drivers with catalyst-hook setup. Here's my current xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI radeon 6310"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:0:1:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSectionBefore when I was running the open source driver, I had the following in 20-radeon.conf in xorg.conf.d, but I removed it...
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon HD 6310"
Driver "radeon"
Option "SWcursor" "off" #software cursor might be necessary on some rare occasions, hence set off by default
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" #supported on all R/RV/RS4xx and older hardware, and set on by default
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" #valid options are XAA, EXA and Glamor. EXA is the default
Option "RenderAccel" "on" #enabled by default on all radeon hardware
Option "ColorTiling" "on" #enabled by default on RV300 and later radeon cards
Option "EXAVSync" "off" #default is off, otherwise on. Only works if EXA activated
Option "EXAPixmaps" "on" #when on icreases 2D performance, but may also cause artifacts on some old cards. Only works if EXA activated
Option "AccelDFS" "on" #default is off, read the radeon manpage for more information
EndSectionI tried adding all the options above to the xorg.conf I posted for catalyst to see if it would make a difference and it didn't.
When I try to run skyrim through steam (I used playonlinux and switched it to use system/latest wine) I get a shadermodel3 not supported error from wine...I didn't have this error before on the open source driver and skyrim ran, albeit slowly...
When I try to install X-Plane, I get the following output:

BTW...when it comes to x-plane, I just want it to run, not run well...I know it's not a great vid card.

P.S. sorry, I know pastebin isn't recommended.
