Bug#362087: fglrx-kernel-src: 8.23.7 does not support xorg 7.0 but 8.24.8 does
8.23.7 supported XOrg 7, thre is no difference in the 6.9 or the 7.0 modules.

Bug#390361: fglrx-driver: Loss of hardware acceleration after upgrading to xserver-xorg 7.1.0
Support for AIGLX and support for Accelerated Direct Rendering are unrelated. ATI's driver has never supported AIGLX in any form, but still maintains a level a dependence on the dri infrastructure. Do you have any indication on that Acceleration is disabled? Regards, Matthew Original Message From: "Steinar H.

Bug#390361: fglrx-driver: Loss of hardware acceleration after upgrading to xserver-xorg 7.1.0
There were some changes that radically affected ultra-simplistic applications, if you can run fgl_glxgears then you are running the proprietary drivers with acceleration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#390361: fglrx-driver: Loss of hardware acceleration after upgrading to xserver-xorg 7.1.0
That confirms that you have not lost hardware acceleration. Again, fgl_glxgears is a simplistic application that demonstrates the use of pbuffers or framebuffer objects. Have any of your real 3D applications been affected? The change in glxgears score is a result of a driver change to enhance the users experience with some games. It is unrelated to XOrg 7.1. There error messages that you are seeing is related to enabling the accelerated GLX mode of hardware acceleration, a feature that was only available with NV's proprietary driver until XOrg 7.1. Please view http://principe.homelinux.net/ for a bit of background. In particular try to understand the difference between the X.Org and AIGLX diagrams about three quarters down the page. Note the direct rendering (the hardware acceleration that you would have had previously) line is unchanged between the two models. The error message you are referring to is the one generated as the 'GLX Extension' is attempting to get accelerated indirect 3D rendering started.

Bug#355485: Another report
Yuval, The current driver release is 8.27. I am unsure about the packaged Debian version, but there have been a number of fixes associated with X server restart/generations. Please verify with 8.27.

Hi guys... I am tracking these threads. And I have been meaning to get back to Daniel, but had to go through some documentation loops and also check with our Legal about copyright grants. Daniel, You are more than welcome onto the beta program, and I thank you for the man pages support. Please contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to discuss.
