I've been running with AccelMethod glamor in xorg.conf for a week or so without issue, has anyone else played with that? I'm guessing the gains are minimal as most everything is rendered with the hardware, but seems useful to have enabled. Also, on my A6-5400K, the sensors output is some odd scaled number for the temp. It appears when using 'sensors -f', which is meant for Fahrenheit, it actually outputs a proper Celsius reading which XBMC will then scale to F for you. Just figured that might be interesting to someone..
I had a question about the hardware scalars though, fritsch mentioned a few pages back keeping it on bilinear. Do most people not use the other scalars? Bilinear seems a bit washed out to my eye and creates images that are too bright. I ended up flipping on enablehighqualityhwscalers and have it on lanczos3 currently which seems to be working solidly. I know more processing leaves more room for error also, but was just curious as to everyone's thoughts on the scalers and which are the most used on the Radeon's.
Lastly, I've been on optical for audio, as up until 3.12 I couldn't get audio over HDMI working despite all of the hacks in this thread. With 3.12 it works, but audio plays at what seems to be about 1/4 the proper speed. IE the menu clicks probably take a full second, and it seems the video tries to slow down to the same speed. I'm guessing this relates to the audio clock fixes that were recently put in? I'll flip debug mode on here shortly and see if I can grab anything interesting, but figured I'd see if anyone else was having that issue.
