Resolved Issues

The following section provide a brief description of resolved issues with the latest version of the ATI Catalyst™ Linux software suite. These include:

* On workstation hardware 3D applications will no longer be corrupted if the screen width is not an integer multiple of 64 pixels, for example with a 1680x1050 wide screen display. Further details can be found in topic number 737-31720
* Display flicker is no longer be noticed when the gnome screen-saver starts
* Several image brightness and gamma-correction issues were resolved. Setting the gamma correction using xgamma, fglrx_xgamma, xorg.conf and in OpenGL games will all work as expected now.
* Diagonal tearing will no longer be noticed when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Video playback will no longer look blocky when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension

Known Issues

The following section provides a brief description of known issues associated with the latest version of ATI Catalyst™ Linux software suite. These issues include:

* There is no support for video playback on the second head in dual head mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-26985
* Desktop corruption may be noticed when dragging the overlay/video when using dual-display mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-29578
* A black screen may be observed on some hardware when switching to the console or leaving the X window system when a Vesa framebuffer console driver is used. Further details can be found in topic number 737-30687
* Video Playback may display wrong colors and additional shadow images when cropping or expanding a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension


因为本次更新正式引入了xvideo特性，视频回放将达到一个新的高度（相比原来的），compiz的迟钝感应该没有了吧。
具体如何加入xvideo，请用aticonfig来查看，我以前也写过一个帖子，可以参考看一下。

现在就是下不了

现在还在用开源驱动....好像也没觉得卡...

问一句，7.04以后版本的受限驱动和官方驱动不是一个东西吗？？

自己翻译的：

代码： 全选

已解决问题

下面的部分提供了最新版本的ATI Catalyst Linux驱动已解决问题的简要描述，包括：

	在工作站硬件上当屏幕宽度不是64像素的整数倍时,比如分辨率为1680x1050的宽屏，3D应用程序不会再出问题。详见主题737-31720。
	当gnome屏幕保护启动时显示不再闪烁。
	某些图像亮度和gamma校正的问题已经解决了。使用xgamma，fglrx_xgamma，xorg.conf配置gamma校正,在opengl游戏中会正常生效。
	当视频播放器使用Xvideo扩展播放视频文件时不会再有斜纹。
	当视频播放器使用Xvideo扩展播放视频文件时视频回放再也不会看起来斑驳。

我的高分屏应该没有问题了，兄弟们用过后给点反馈哈
回上面的：
7.04以后版本的受限驱动也是ati出的fglrx驱动，只是经过ubuntu配置测试过，一般版本比较旧

显然版本不一样，受限驱动比较老，那自然性能和各方面就会差一点。
不然我才懒得写什么驱动安装指南呢。

[zhuqin_83]

在arch下测试过了，compiz依然没有太大改善，视频回放么还行。
继续用开源驱动。

已经支持hardy的deb报编译，不过安装还是有问题。。。

[zarra]

我的1950GT 的compiz性能大幅改善

[guale]

我的1900GT也是，compiz性能明显提升好多

[hualala]

我的X1400装上驱动后表现很好
目前待机有点问题

[qingshi163]

我的x1250性能的确有大幅度的提高（glxgears由950＋到了1280＋的速度！），不过也太不稳定了，bzflag都无法运行，torcs 20秒后必挂掉，还有其他带3d的都无法正常运行 等着下一个驱动吧～～
