Re: Radeon HD 3400 - small artefacts

I have problems with Radeon HD 4350. Your description sounds like sth simmilar.

Re: Radeon HD 3400 - small artefacts

obviously I would rather go with the open source drivers, gwpl, but as the close AMD drivers do work well and someone (Vi0L0) took the effort of wrapping these in a AUR package I'm more than helped with that.

I wouldn't mind to help the xf86-video-radeonhd developers but currently I cannot see how.  Put it this way: AMD has done a great job of providing a GNU/Linux X installer that works fine for my purpose.
