Re: Catalyst 8.3 vel 8.47 drivers released!

Commenting out my Xorg.conf and even recreating it using aticonfig -f didn't fix anything. Should I downgrade (if so, how?) or try to switch to the open source drivers?
my xorg.conf:

# Various Xorg extensions are loaded in the "Module" section
# These are various settings for the
# Xorg server. See man xorg.conf.
# This section defines your keyboard.
# See man keyboard for details
# The xf86-input-keyboard package must be installed
# This section defines your mouse.
# See man mouse for details
# The xf86-input-mouse package must be installed
# This example shows a standard wheel mouse

Re: Catalyst 8.3 vel 8.47 drivers released!

I have an ATI X850 XT with catalyst 8.3-1 installed by pacman. I was using 1680x1050 resolution (native resolution of my Viewsonic VX2025wm) perfectly before update. Now I can't.
This is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Re: Catalyst 8.3 vel 8.47 drivers released!

I have the same problem as arew264,
fujitsu laptop running x1400.
glxgears reports about 53fps (way lower than before) but no gears are actually displayed.
also, none of the GL screensavers work, they just blank the screen.
there are no obvious errors in Xorg.0.log

oh well, at least i can watch video without the annoying diagonal now.

Re: Catalyst 8.3 vel 8.47 drivers released!

I solved the blank opengl by rolling back to the old version.

hi, blinking xv playback can be solved by a mplayer patch, take a look at
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15690
& http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14304
it works perfectly.
