Primo rilascio per i driver ATI RadeonHD
Very nice. It worked for me (Radeon HD2600 PRO). Too bad it hasn’t 3d and 2d/video acceleration.
I like to watch videos on my 42″ plasma screen.. too bad i can’t do it on linux yet because fglrx sux so much that videos are all screwed up and the radeon hd driver doesn’t have video support yet.
Would be nice for it to have some configuration tool, like the ATI Catalyst Control Center. It’s a very nice tool to configure my TV to watch videos.
Thanks.
