New RadeonHD Driver Release

[Hans_]

@ferrellsl

For goodness sakes, it performs on par with a Pentium class system from 2004 and now has 2D compositing, a feature that many systems have been capable of for over 20 years. Excuse me for not getting excited.

A minor point of information: the Radeon HD driver has supported 2D compositing on all supported cards for a long time now. This release fixes some initialisation problems with certain cards. That's even less exciting... unless you have one of those cards.

@XDelusion

Is this any better than the driver that was banned recently?

A driver got banned? :confused:

Nice to hear that the driver now extends down to the 4650 (which was shipped in a lot of X1000s).

"Now extends...?" It's supported the 4650 for ages; since before the A1-X1000 was released.

BTW - Hans, post at least one more message, your message count number is particularly ominous (especially for an AOS4 supporter).

:lol: I hadn't noticed that.

Please help!

I tried to update my radeon driver but got this on my sam460

sorry an error has occured
copyfiles: couldn't copy file Radeonhd.chip in line 76
DOS error: Unable to delete a file or drawer-- it was delete protected

Is SYS:Kickstart/RadeonHD.chip delete protected?

Hans

no

Okay, is it write protected? How about the Kickstart drawer? Is that write/delete protected?

Failing that, manually copy RadeonHD.chip to SYS:Kickstart/

Does the new driver support CrossFireX?

No.
