Re: unstable fglrx 8.10.19?

[Javier Kohen <jkohen@users.sourceforge.net>]

Hi Andrei,

It's working fine for me compiled with gcc-4.0. I also noticed that 
Flavio removed the "caution: I haven't tested these drivers enough yet" 
disclaimer that was on his website until last night.

I haven't made extensive tests, but I'm confused because the framerate 
in fgl_glxgears went up from 262 to 406 since early this morning (after 
the driver upgrade, that's it). I also added 256 MB of RAM (to the 
previous 512 MB), but I don't think that could affect performance that 
much as the system wasn't swapping or anything. This is a Mobility 
Radeon 9600, and I think I was getting --relatively-- pretty bad numbers 
before this upgrade.
