I just wanted to say that my prism54 based wireless card now works again in feisty, which makes my life much easier. Also my radeon 9600 card in my laptop now supports 3d acceleration through the open source drivers, which is very cool.

Hey,
Does the radeon driver support dvi output? That the only reason I am using the awful fglrx driver on edgy …
Thx

The only machine I have a radeon in is my laptop, which only gives me CRT out, so I can’t test it. If you give it a shot in feisty, you might have to add the following options to xorg.conf:
Driver “radeon”
Option “ColorTiling” “on”
Option “EnablePageFlip” “true”
Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps”
Option “RenderAccel” “true”
BusID “PCI:1:0:0″

On my system on 9600XT the DVI output works.
The radeon driver is faster and more stable than fglrx, at least on my system. I can almost use beryl!
I only don’t because some features are a bit slow thus reducing usability.
Feisty rocks!

I’m gonna have to give the new driver a try. I have Beryl working, but it occasionally hogs the cpu and doesn’t settle back down, so any productivity must be done under Gnome. I’ve been having too many other random problems with fglrx, and I have still yet to get my tv-input working under any driver. It’s disappointing that what was once great hardware on Windoze is now buggy hardware on Ubuntu because of corporate stubbornness (ATI 9600 AIW, SB Audigy). Oh well, at least there are alternatives to choose from next time I buy new hardware.
