Talk:Fglrx

Hi, This is my first wiki-work so I put my suggestion into the discussion-section before editing the article.

Well I suggest a new subsection to troubleshooting:

I had problems with the amdcccle version 12.11_beta11 and above. The issue was that my bigger screens scaling-value was reset everytime my x-server was started. That meant, that I had to start amdcccle everytime after starting the xserver and reset the value to 0%. Funny enough, but the most weired thing was, that the value was set to 0% when I opened the amdcccle, I always had to move the slieder a little bit, until it took effect. It took me a long time to find the solution, which is just to execute aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0. It may be, that this command has to be run every time after emerging ati-drivers. I'll check that out.

If you think, that this issue should be added. I'll write a more suitable text and place it in the article.

p.s.: I'm running version 13.1 now and it works fine. I think it should be unmasked for amd64. Any suggestions who to tell that?

Thanks for your feedback --Toydarian 16:38, 19 February 2013 (GMT)

Old Stuff
Also in this thread a link was provided to Compiz-Fusion Forum Thread discussing more changes. A quick overview of them are here for archival purpose:

Section "Device" Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]" Driver     "fglrx" ## Driver / Performance Options Option     "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option     "TexturedVideo" "On" ### Set to 1 - better, set to 2 for compability, and 0 for basic Option     "UseFastTLS" "1" ### Experimental Option     "Textured2D" "on" Option     "TexturedXRender" "on" Option     "BackingStore" "on" ### forced turned off so TextureVideo is used Option     "VideoOverlay" "Off" Option     "OpenGLOverlay" "Off"

## Desktop Setup Option     "DesktopSetup" "clone" Option     "EnableMonitor" "crt1,lvds" BusID      "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection

Section "Extensions" ## For Textured2d and Textured XRender Option     "RENDER" "On" ## For Compiz ### Listed in thread, but not used according to log on Xorg 7.2 #Option     "Damage" "On" Option     "Composite" "On" ## Should be loaded automatically, but for good measure Option     "XVideo" "On" EndSection

Use the above difference at your own risk, basically the two questionable ones are Textured2D and TexturedXRender. These two options can cause some strange color rendering also. BackingStore can cause problems if you are not using CompizFusion, and UseFastTLS might need to be set to 2 if you have problems with wine.

I am currently using the above sections except for TexturedXRender and BackingStore. TexturedXRender seemed to slow things down for my and higher CPU. And BackingStore b/c I forget to re-enable and see no difference. I have not tested with games or movies. --Insanity5902 08:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC) !-->

AIGLX with fglrx Using ati-drivers 8.433 or later, you can enable and use AIGLX and thus use compositing window managers like Compiz Fusion. Some users have reported instability, but you'll have to see for yourself. You have to modify
