</div>The radeonhd driver also offers tear free Xv for the HD3200 on par<br>
with that found in the radeon driver. The 2d acceleration for radeon<br>
and radeonhd were developed at the same time. The radeonhd 1.2.5<br>
release contains the Xv code for the HD3200; however, you'll need to<br>
compile the radeon and drm kernel modules from the r6xx-r7xx-support<br>
branch of drm git for Xv and EXA to work. The advantage of radeonhd<br>
over radeon is that radeonhd supports hdmi audio.<br>
<br>
On my FC10 myth box with an HD3200, I've been running the radeonhd<br>
from git since the Xv/EXA was being developed and have been satisfied<br>
with the results. Building an up to date radeonhd package containing<br>
the latest code should be easy if radheonhd had been previously<br>
packaged.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br>I would have to agree with Rodney. I have had more issues with Mesa 7.4 on a brand new build with an HD 3200 than I ever had with the radeonhd drivers. Once I found a patch for that, everything fell into place.<br>
