Yes but Vista is using the Orca rewrite which I assume will also be used on XP and linux (eventually). I'd love to see some performance improvements but I think that some other bugs (AA artifacts, freeze on logout/switch to console etc.) should be prioritized.
I wish I could tell you more, but...I'd have ta kill ya... Reply With Quote 02-15-2007, 02:33 PM

Posts 1,844	I think he meant bugs many people are experiencing very often. I, for example, can't switch from X to console (shutdown/reboot also doesn't work properly), have slow performance and when I play a game two minutes the entire machine freezes. Also, when only X is running and I am surfing the web for example, my ATI Radeon X1900 XTX has the cooler running (not very fast, but much noisier than in Windows). And then I am waiting for features like the upcoming Catalyst Control Center in the 8.36-driver and for full AIGLX support.

Still thinking 8.36 due to that PCPer article? Had that PCPer article mentioned AIGLX?
Posts 1,844	Yes and No. I can only hope that AIGLX comes soon...

Note with the FC6 "Radeon" drivers there are not any issues whatsoever.

I tested 8.34.8 and found out that the crashes in games are gone, but I have one very bad problem left:
I can't switch to console with Ctrl+Alt+F1, when I do it, it hangs. I can then reboot with Ctrl+Alt+Del. It also hangs when I want to reboot/shutdown under KDE. It just can't switch from X to console. Any ideas?
