@ Christopher Penalver: Why are you so very determined to make this bug's description LESS useful for users? I have a FirePro V5700 [RV730] which is affected by this. The nomenclature HD2000-4000 doesn't identify this card at all.

Max Bowsher, thank you for your comments. Regarding them https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/1058040/comments/44 : Why are you so very determined to make this bug's description LESS useful for users? What I am determined to do is make sure the the information provided in the Bug Description is accurate, and not misleading. Citing Wikipedia is not helpful on Launchpad, especially in light of how it contradicts AMD's own website, as discussed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/1058040/comments/39 .

The Bug Title could be less ambiguous. However, the Bug Description, as noted above, does clear up what is covered. Despite this, I'll edit the Bug Title to clear this ambiguity up. The chip information is vastly more useful in identifying whether a given card is likely to be affected The information quoted from Wikipedia is not useful and is misleading. even after I expanded the wording to document the interesting ambiguity of the FireStreams. No ambiguity exists on the FireStream models noted in http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion1211BetaReleaseNotes.aspx, and as discussed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/1058040/comments/36 . As well, it would be demonstrably more helpful if you could please file a new report so we can track your hardware via a terminal: ubuntu-bug xorg For more on this, please see the Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad article: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue and Ubuntu Community article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1058040] Re: fglrx-installer not working with HD2000-4000 legacy cards in Quantal
@John Winterton - You are half right. CPU overhead is higher with the open-source radeon driver than with the closed-source Catalyst (fglrx) driver. However the ATI/AMD GPU is used as much more than just a presentation device - most of the 3D calculations and rendering (including parts of Ubuntu's Unity desktop) are done on the GPU. Most of the excess heat produced by the radeon driver compared to the fglrx driver is produced by the GPU. Although there is some basic power management in the radeon driver - see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo#radeon-KMS_power-management - not only does the dynpm method not work on some hardware, when it does both it and the profile method only reduce heat and increase battery life partially when compared to the fglrx driver. That said, there is some work going on to reduce the CPU overhead of the radeon driver. Some improvements were made in Mesa 7.11 (used in Ubuntu 11.10) for both the r300g driver for old hardware up to and including the Radeon X1000 series GPUs and the r600g driver for newer hardware from Radeon HD2000 series and later. There was at least one improvement to the r600g driver in Mesa 9.0 (used in Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal) - see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=c76462b45f1e3a0aa2ee7971191e30e8a5f52015 - and already another in the development tree for the future Mesa 9.1 - see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=e73bf3b805de78299f1a652668ba4e6eab9bac94 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with HD2000-4000 legacy cards in Quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

No to be a downer, but my experience with the open source is so poor that it is close to unusable for me. I work with eclipse and I keep on loosing the window, at first I tought eclipse was crashing but all processes were there, is just the windows that were gone from the desktop. Unity is really really slow, windows managment is also slow to move, close and resize. In other terms, it is worth going back 12.04 rather that staying with this open source driver.

Well, that is interesting on several fronts. The new driver does what I need, so I will stick with it. I am retired and not much of a computer user. People using development suites may have trouble, and this is, as far as I am concerned, an ongoing problem with the driver which, all things being equal, will sort itself out in the future. @madbiologist: Fair winds and following seas. I have been out of the development world for twenty-odd years now, and am completely out of touch with the inner workings. Getting a driver working with mesa must be quite a challenge. The last time I was involved in writing drivers was in the 1960's for mechanical things like paper tape readers, printers and document handlers. It was nice to be able to go and poke the hardware. When you get done with this, if ever, you will most certainly have an article for the journals (Does Software Practive and Experience still publish?).

@Neil Burgin - I'm glad to hear that you are satisfied with the performance of the current open-source radeon driver. There have indeed been many recent performance improvements to the open-source radeon 3D graphics driver. This includes radeon KMS page-flipping which was introduced in the 2.6.38 kernel which was used in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal; and the switch from the classic Mesa 3D driver to the Gallium3D Mesa driver which happened in Mesa 7.9 (used in Ubuntu 10.10) for Radeon X1000 series GPUs and earlier, and in Mesa 7.10.1 (used in Ubuntu 11.04) for Radeon HD 2000 series GPUs and later. There were further Radeon performance improvements in Mesa 8.0 (8.0.4 is currently available in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin) and in Mesa 9.0. Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal is using Mesa 9.0. Also, kernel 3.4 introduced 2D color tiling support for Radeon HD 5000 and HD 6000 series GPUs, which boosts performance when used in conjunction with Mesa 9.0. Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal is using a kernel which is based on the upstream 3.5 kernel. If you ever need more performance from this driver and you have a Radeon HD 2000 or later, support for PCI Express 2.0 (PCI-E 2.0) was finally added to the open-source radeon driver in the 3.6 kernel. This has been shown to increase performance for some OpenGL workloads.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1058040] Re: fglrx-installer not working with HD2000-4000 legacy cards in Quantal
@Dave Lents: Well, that might make it worth pursuing were I running a laptop. I do understand that the default driver probably runs up the main cpu(s) at high revs and uses the ATI/AMD module strictly as a presentation device, if that. My older Radeon 3000 GPU (AMD RS780 on- board chip set) never was very satisfactory, but this new driver is at least equivalent if not better. The main 3D game I run is SimCity 4 Deluxe, and it runs a core at 100% all by itself. I'll have to have a look at the system monitor when this is running to see if the second processor on my system is doing more than maintenance things. SC4 was written in about 2000 and is single threaded, no GPU options. It is really too bad that there cannot be enough air plenum in a laptop to cool the processors properly, but fashion dictates they be thinner and thinner. The penality for this is running hot with gaming. These machines are not not really for gaming, and anyone who expects desktop performance out of them is smoking something truly strange. Of course this makes it impossible to please the 'now' generation who really want games like this on their telephone. *sigh*.
