aticonfig --odgt doesn't work, and afaik AMD seems not to provide such functionality on Fusion CPUs like my A10,
this is very annoying as I have no idea on what happens on my HTPC until i put one hand on the chassis.
If I have time, I'll give a try on that release, but I see no real functionality, just bugfixes. Too bad!
A non-beta bugfix-only release that makes xvba work smooth would be just right.... maybe amd will discontinue catalyst for linux, when mesa reaches opengl 4.x and Mantle releases for linux next year (speculation). It seems to me that they have more man-power on the oss-drivers right now. For catalyst-windows it may be another story.
I tested aticonfig --odgt on my HD 7950, not on my fusion system - too bad that it does not work there. did you try gkrellm or another monitoring tool?
And thanks for the hint on how to make my own rpm, but I rather wait for the makerpm-skript cause it incorporates kernel 3.11 support and usualy other good fixes.
I tried the catalyst 13.10 beta2
They actually have fixed something, as the brightness can be set now, anyhow when running xbmc I get one cpu running 100%
I then switched to the Xorg driver, and found it better as the feeling is that all videos runs smooter.
xbmc reports 45fps, whereas with catalyst it reports 46fps
I didn't test any HD video though.
I stay with Xorg now.
