Re: AMD Catalyst 11.4/11.5 issues

 

Have now tried Alien Arena and X crash in full screen mode whether I am on ATI or Intel graphics... only rather more spectacular in ATI as the game does not "die" but the process starts chewing up CPU - I killed it when it was up on 75% CPU...

So the drivers are far from perfect - have not tried any gaming or so on OSS drivers

Ok, i've tried with extreme tux racer and I can confirm this happening
when using discrete card.

Hi can you tell me a 3D application that doesn't work for you?
I'll try to reproduce the problem.

Also do you have any of the problems I mentioned?

Hi,

I have this kind of problem...

Each time I opened a 3D application in fullscreen, X crashs.

I think it has something to deal with natty as 11.4 works on debian stable
(I didn't try 11.5).

Hi,

I'm experiencing these issues with both AMD Catalyst 11.4 and 11.5 and
I wanted to know if someone else is seeing this:

- When using the Intel card, sometimes the X server randomly crashes
- When using AMD card trying to switch to a virtual terminal
(ctrl+alt+F[1-6]) causes X server to restart. Repeating this freezes
the display and you'll have to do an emergency reboot.

I'm running ubuntu natty amd64.

Thanks
