[mythtv-users] [OT] New ATI drivers just released for Linux(32bit & 64bit)

[Evil Nathan]

    I'm using Gentoo, and used someone else's ebuild to download/install 
them.

   To be honest, I've noticed nothing all that great about them, though I 
haven't had a chance to try 1080i yet (I'll try that tonight if I decide to 
stick with them).  But as far as performance go, the open-source drivers 
seem to be out-performing ati's proprietary driver.  Which is fairly sad 
when you think about it.

   So I'll fiddle tonight with my VGA->Component adapter and the modelines, 
as well as the extra settings the fglrx driver has over the open-source 
driver, and let you know what my final thoughts are.

   But for a budget card (I have a 9000 in there right now) it seems the 
open-source drivers (kernel/Xorg) are the better choice.

   But I could be wrong!
