By now with the new shiny "shader backend" in Mesa 9.2 (needs to be enabled, is enabled in Mesa 9.3) and with radeon's dpm in Kernel 3.11, everyone with a legacy driver should switch to the open-source drivers. The performance should be on a par or better now. Also Kernel 3.12 will, i think, let you switch off your second (radeon) video card, if not needed, or so.
Only thing missing for older cards is full OpenGL 3.2/3.3 support (the HD4xxx cards don't support OpenGL 4.x anyway).

If it wasn't for broken functionality in KDE 4.11, I would never have left Catalyst. It always worked like a charm for me, maybe I'm a lucky soul but I've used it since 2009 with very little issues, mostly thanks to the great work done by Kensai in setting up the Catalyst repo and then Vi0l0 which put it on steroids. Apart from compatibility with kernels and xorg servers, I believe that the free driver is not superior to Catalyst in any aspect, at least according to my very limited experience with open source driver. Also, I'm experiencing random freezes at boot with the open driver but I think they may be related either to youth problems of the 3.11 kernel or to some misconfigured options; suspend and resume doesn't work as well, but I tested only once and it may be fixed with some future kernel release. I don't care about OpenGL, the only missing feature that may interest me is audio over HDMI but it's already in place and has only to be activated with a kernel command line parameter.

Just wanna ask, I have a ATI 7600M in my laptop. Before I tried ati-dri, but the system runs so hot! So I gave Catalyst a go a few months ago, and runs way cooler.

But, since things improves and changes all the time. Is it worth changing back to ati-tri (radeon), or stick to Catalyst? Run 13.8 with no problems at the moment.

As I said above I just switched to open driver, but I would not recommend you to do the same. Your card is still supported by the mainline catalyst, and with open driver I'm facing problems as random freezes at boot and bad resume from suspend. But my card is different so the situation with yours may be a different story. Try it if you have a hour to spend in installing linux 3.11 from testing, purging all the catalyst stuff from your system and configure it for KMS and DPM... at least it's funny

Unia · 2013-09-05 16:46:12

I would wait at least until 3.11 hits [core]; it's too much of a hassle first removing Catalyst, upgrading to [testing], installing radeon and if needed, reverting all this again.

I must add that radeon in combination with 3.11 is a sweet-spot for me. I'm not experiencing what snack is and I'm getting the same temps as I did with Catalyst.

Maybe my problems are due to kernel 3.11 and not open driver. It's difficult to say since they cannot be disentangled if one wants DPM. Maybe I'll experiment a bit by downgrading the kernel and disabling DPM to see what happens. Anyway I confirm what Unia says: temperatures are as low as with catalyst.

Hey guys, i want to share some observations i made:

Catalyst 13.4 works without any problems. Many month (since April ) I thought catalyst 13.4 is unusable due to extreme mouse lag. But today i found out all steam games (and i have most ) do actually work nicely!
- Turn ON Vertical sync (especially for Valve's Source games) to get rid of the horrible mouse lag.
- Unity games (Kerbal Space Program, Sir Youre Being Hunted...): Turn OFF Vertical sync for better performance!
- Turn OFF motion blurr and Antialising at first when bad performing (has huge impact)
- When available: Turn ON raw mouse input
- Euro Truck Simulator 2: Start with -mm_pool_size 1200 (As long as you got 8gig ram)
- Red Orchestra 2: Delete ~/.redorchestra folder!
- Shatter: Delete its config dir as well (forgot path, sry)
- X-Plane 10: Start it with --no-pinned or clouds will flicker and drop your fps-
- Blender, crash when quitting: $> LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 blender

All games do work very well with AMD A10-5800K (not overclocked). I use xorg-server-1.12 and kernel-3.11.
I'm not a gamer, i don't even like most games. But guys! Euro Truck Simulator or the Half Life 2 Episode 1/2, Wargame... they just do look nice (HDR enabled)! Never believed this will ever run on Linux natively.
Perhaps all this is not new for you, but i didn't know that and i was persuaded of catalyst-13.4 was completely broken.

Only game refusing to start is Anomaly 1. People say Humble store version is ok but i'm too lazy to try it out.

To sum it up: 13.4 much better than all the beta drivers together regarding performance and bugs - i can almost say: I'm happy with it.

For everyone having problems with screen backlight, I made a Python script which controls screen backlight with ACPI and aticonfig.
Solution with manual echoing to acpi_video0/brightness is not working for me, so I had to do this way.

Backlight control script can be found here, and example of ACPI handler.sh can be found here.

Script is written and tested on ASUS K73BR with Raden HD 7470M, using catalyst 13.8. I'm using XFCE as DE.

snack "Et tu, Brute?" ;P
naaah, just kidding, it was and is very good to have you here . BTW Kensai did more - he was the maintainer and one of ancient creators of the catalyst' PKGBUILD (+ was the author of Arch Linux Newsletter, remember?), while repo was actually my idea - it now has mirrors but then it was starting on some sharing sites and dropbox :>

Your move to switch to oss drivers was good and rational. In fact I believe that everybody (well maybe except hardcore steam players / opencl users, but this exception should only be temporary) should to check out 3.11 kernel (either after it will appear in core or by downloading a couple of packages like linux linux-headers linux-firmware from testing, you don't actually need to jump to testing repo) and the newest radeon/mesa drivers.

Now something different, a workaround to the "so called 30 fps or tear-free bug" present in catalyst >= 13.6, found by M132 here:

I JUST FOUND THE FIX!
1. Enable Tear-Free, it will set 3D V-Sync option to Always on.
2. Set 3D V-Sync to Always Off.
3. Make sure Tear-Free is still on.
4. Restart X / Re-login.
AND ENJOY 60 FPS DESKTOP WITHOUT TEARING
The only weird thing I found is:
2751 frames in 5.0 seconds = 550.097 FPS
2806 frames in 5.0 seconds = 561.184 FPS
2770 frames in 5.0 seconds = 553.987 FPS
While running glxgears

Yeah, it's working very well here on KDE 4.11 (feel free to also disable KDE's v-sync)

In case of problems M132 found workaround to workaround:

Unfortunately, the fix I posted before seems to work only with Compiz. If you still experience V-Sync problems try disabling "Detect refresh rate" and specify monitor's refresh rate in Composite plugin.

Steef435 · 2013-09-08 19:44:03

For the Awesome WM users using the great fix mentioned above, I got rid of the hangs when switching tags by using the --no-argb flag as mentioned here.

Man, I'm back... I told you I love you people from the AMD bar&grill
More seriously, r6xx asics like my Mobile HD3470 has still serious bugs with DPM, I am able to boot ~50% of the times and often the windows are extremely laggy:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66963

I reverted to Catalyst legacy yesterday. I strongly advice people to follow the bug report and wait for the fix before jumping on the OSS wagon.

I mean OSS, since without DPM the open driver is not an option for anyone who cares about temperatures and battery life.

So you mean "dpm" wagon for everyone, who needs to care about temperature and battery life, which means mostly laptop users. There are enough people, who use the radeon driver without having to care temperature and battery life.

Just a quick feedback about 13.8 :

My X-Plane 10 setup is broken, both x64 and i386 edition fails to load (just before initializing OpenGL things I believe)

A reverted to catalyst-hook 13.6-3, catalyst-utils 13.6-3 and lib32-catalyst-utils 13.6-1 and it all works again.

clfarron4 · 2013-09-10 21:27:44

@darfy: So you're not the only one having problems with Catalyst 13.8, though yours is sounding a bit more serious.

christov84 · 2013-09-11 14:06:17

I solved it by switching to stable branch. I hope what there would be freshier stable release in month-two or three, and then I could switch to bleeding-edge again. 13.8 does not work good AT ALL for me.

Old dependency unfixed? Catalyst >= 13.7 works with 1.14. Witnessed it myself.

Hmm, that's strange, because I am using 13.6 with 1.14 (I had installed 13.8 with X 1.14 from Vi0L0's repo, but performance was **** because of RAM leakage)/

People with hybrid intel/amd gpus might be interested in (very hacky) primus:

If you want to test it you'll need
1. primus-git (and lib32-primus-git) with that patch: https://github.com/amonakov/primus/issu … t-21398865
2. breaking some symbols in fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 and fglrx_dri.so for 64 and 32 bit each: https://github.com/amonakov/primus/issu … t-24177917
Pretty much only

for tfile in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib/catalystpxp/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib32/catalystpxp/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2; do

With that I can use this as the "primusrun" script:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/primus:/usr/lib32/primus:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PRIMUS_libGL=/usr/lib/primus
export PRIMUS_libGLa=/usr/lib/catalystpxp/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2:/usr/lib32/catalystpxp/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2
export PRIMUS_libGLd=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0:/usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2.0
export PRIMUS_SYNC=1
#export vblank_mode=0
exec "$@"

The vblank_mode=0 would disable vsync, you can test if it helps anything.
PRIMUS_SYNC is interesting because with it set to 0 many games freeze for me. The performance with it set to 1suffers sometimes.

The gputest benchmark http://www.geeks3d.com/gputest/ runs overwhelmingly better with primus than with bumblebee/virtualgl, but every real game I tried runs worse.

If anyone is experienced in tracking down performance bottlenecks, this github thread needs you.

People with hybrid intel/amd gpus might be interested in (very hacky) primus:

If you want to test it you'll need

With that I can use this as the "primusrun" script:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/primus:/usr/lib32/primus:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PRIMUS_libGL=/usr/lib/primus
export PRIMUS_libGLa=/usr/lib/catalystpxp/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2:/usr/lib32/catalystpxp/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2
export PRIMUS_libGLd=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0:/usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2.0
export PRIMUS_SYNC=1
#export vblank_mode=0
exec "$@"

The vblank_mode=0 would disable vsync, you can test if it helps anything.
PRIMUS_SYNC is interesting because with it set to 0 many games freeze for me. The performance with it set to 1suffers sometimes.

The gputest benchmark http://www.geeks3d.com/gputest/ runs overwhelmingly better with primus than with bumblebee/virtualgl, but every real game I tried runs worse.

If anyone is experienced in tracking down performance bottlenecks, this github thread needs you.

That would be kind of hard to use, IMO. But with every solution found and released to public, FOSS drivers & tools gain stability, features and support. So, I guess, that hack might be very, very fascinating. Not usable by me, but even still - I might give it a kick when I feel bored.
