ati-drivers 3.14.1 are released, and in the portage tree.
No word yet if they fix the Xorg 6.8.0 issues yet or not.

I'm having troubles with the ebuild...any ideas?
| Code: | >>> emerge media-video/ati-drivers-3.14.1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm
* X11 implementation is xorg-x11.
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm
* Applying fglrx-2.6-vmalloc-vmaddr.patch...
* Failed Patch: fglrx-2.6-vmalloc-vmaddr.patch!
*
* Include in your bugreport the contents of:
*
* /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-3.14.1/temp/fglrx-2.6-vmalloc-vmaddr.patch-9209.out
!!! ERROR: media-video/ati-drivers-3.14.1 failed.
!!! Function epatch, Line 402, Exitcode 0
!!! Failed Patch: fglrx-2.6-vmalloc-vmaddr.patch! |
or is this that xorg problem I haven't seen until now? |

It looks like ATI have finally added the fix from that patch, which is why it's now failing. As a temp fix, just edit the ebuild and delete/comment out this bit | Code: | if [ "`echo ${KV}|grep 2.6`" ]
then
epatch ${FILESDIR}/fglrx-2.6-vmalloc-vmaddr.patch
# epatch ${FILESDIR}/fglrx-3.9.0-regparm.patch

Same here. 
I guess, the ebuild or the patch is borked.

All I posted was a way to avoid applying the now unnecessary vmalloc patch - it wasn't related to the Xorg problems in any way. It's up to ATI to fix that. Last I heard they were planning on re-releasing the 3.12.0 driver in "a few weeks", but that was back in August sometime I think.

I hate ATI's lack of support. It's completely stupid.
I can understand them not caring so much because so few people use it... But bad fricking driver support is surely one of the major fucking reasons there are so few people using Linux anyway.
They're the cause of the fricking problem, and they're using the problem they created to justify increasing the problem, it's purely ridiculous. |

They don't appear to be. I also get some weird graphical corruption in 3D apps like glxgears and celestia, which I didn't get with 3.12.0. I'm back to using 3.2.8 at the moment.

I've seen benchmarks some people did and they're not really any faster. |
