Re: [Trisquel-users] Radeon drivers in Trisquel 4.0

[jtlebeau]

I don't have an xorg.conf file in 4.0, but I was able to test the radeonhd  
driver on a USB install by copying the above code to  
/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-xorg.conf and restarting gdm. I was able to  
verify that the radeonhd driver was loaded by reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  
Come to find out, this almost disabled video playback on my test mkv file --  
it would show a frame about every 2 seconds. So the radeon driver is much  
better -- only a little lag either in-frame or full-screen on this test file  
being played from my home file server.

I was unable to test removing the kernel module with the USB install -- when  
I ran update-initramfs and tried to reboot, I discovered that it would no  
longer boot. I would be willing to upgrade my current install on hard disk to  
the 4.0 beta, if this is desired from a testing standpoint.
