New upstream release ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version 8.28.8.
Because I did not made manpage releases for ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Versions 8.25.18, 8.26.18 and 8.27.10, this ChangeLog is quite long.
![[Important]](http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/images/important.png) |
Important |
Be aware, that this driver is the last with support for RADEON® 8500/9000/9100/9200/9250, MOBILITY™ RADEON® 9000/9100/9200 and RADEON® IGP 9000/9100/9200 chipsets. |
General changes:
The license has changed to a MIT license.
Updated the list of supported chipsets.
Fixed many build issues and improved the build system in several ways.
Added a XML-based revision history and dropped the plain-text based one (this means, that there is still a text version, but it's created from the XML file and a HTML version was added).
Fixed format issues in all manpages, that clashed with the format recommendations of manpages.
Fixed many markup issues in aticonfig(1x), fgl_glxgears(1x), fglrxinfo(1x), fglrx_xgamma(1x) and fglrx(4x).
Fixed several typos in aticonfig(1x) and fglrx(4x).
The HTML form of the manpages now uses HTML 4.01 transitional.
Special changes for aticonfig(1x):
Fixed copyright.
Added some information if and how options affect the configuration file (taken from aticonfig --help output).
Added some general section descriptions based on the information given by the --help of aticonfig(1x).
-
Added the description for the newly introduced options:
--add-pairmode |
--enable-monitor |
--list-pairmode |
--locked-userpages |
--max-gart-size |
--nobackup |
--query-monitor |
--remove-pairmode |
--swap-monitor |
--set-policy |
--tv-geometry |
--tv-info |
--tv-overscan |
with descriptions.
-
Improved and updated the description for the options:
--initial |
--tvf ,--tv-format-type
|
-o , --output
|
-
Removed the description for the no longer available options:
--agpl , --agp-locked-userpages
|
--dw ,--disable-workstation
|
--iagp , --internal-agp
|
-
Removed solved or obsolete bugs:
The --tv-format-type option does not longer try to manipulate the Option "TVStandard" value of fglrx(4x).
Trying to use --dw timmo-extreme returns the following error message: “aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed”.
Added newly observed bugs:
The --tvf option does not accept all values mentioned in the --help output.
The --tv-info option could freeze with 100% CPU usage.
The --tv-geometry may break the configuration file or output a wrong error message.
The --help output is wrong in a few cases.
Check the “BUGS” section of aticonfig(1x) for more information.
Special changes for fglrx(4x):
Fixed copyright.
Updated, sorted and reorganized the list of supported chipsets and their supported features.
-

Option "MaxGARTSize" |
Option "TVOverscan" |

Option "ForceMonitors" |
Option "TVFormat" |
Option "TVHPosAdj" |
