Re: AMD Catalyst 11.4/11.5 issues

 

Can you please report the version of the drivers and X you have?
Also which distro are you on and how did you installed the drivers.

Thank you, now I can't even get windowed 3D to work, using 11.5
drivers from generated packages.
I'm trying to figure if the system is messed up and worth a reinstall
or that's just a known issue.
