Thanks, Rimvydas - Had a chance to try out the newest master, and the iwm driver works great now!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to test the radeon drivers for a bit - the i915 ones work well enough (well, there's a good bit of tearing), that I think I'm going to return the card right now. I may re-evaluate when the next release comes around and see where things stand. I don't really need 3D anything, I just need a displayport connector and a reasonably quiet card that supports 3440 x 1440 - this was the cheapest I found. Anyway, thanks very much to you and Imre for your help! - Andy On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 4:53 AM, Rimvydas Jasinskas <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 8:43 PM, Andrew Slaughter > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi everyone - > > > > I've been using Dragonfly on an old lenovo laptop for a while, and > thought I > > might want to give it a try on my desktop system.
