Re: AMD PowerXpress hybrid graphics -- Catalyst 11.4 pre-release testing

 

With latest ati drivers (11.4) downloaded from the official site, on a
clean configuration and installed without generating packages
everything works.
Runnng the aquarium "test" I get 18 fps while fullscreen.

Running fgl_glxgears I get:
$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2096 frames in 5.0 seconds = 419.200 FPS
2101 frames in 5.0 seconds = 420.200 FPS
2327 frames in 5.0 seconds = 465.400 FPS
2086 frames in 5.0 seconds = 417.200 FPS
