Awesome, good to know Bryce, thanks. I used to just run git radeon from xf86-video-ati git and that worked fine, except for the silly fact that most 3d userspace apps I wanted to try did not have a counterpart 64-bit userspace app (google earth). Native games worked just fine for me though. I had suspend issues but I believe the issues were CPU related, the system had the latest AMD Phenom II. The only issue I did see which was clearly a driver issue was the lack of HDMI audio support. There seems to be 3 approaches to its support on rv770: * radeonhd - implemented but this is not the driver to use * radeon - port of the work still needed some work. See [1] and [2] * KMS radeon - might have been merged into 2.6.33 or 2.6.34, I poked the dri list and CC'd you on my inquiry In any case, I'll give the new live CD a good spin once it comes out. Will tomorrow's baked CD also have your new 6.12.191 update?
