from Aaron B
I'm giving you details on how to more help us, and if you can run Linux in any way, and understand how the command line works even remotely, and how packages work, going to a better system/learning one little thing like code compiling isn't hard is my point, if you don't want to, that is fine, but at the same time, even I'm a programmer, and the DRM infrastructure and hardware isn't in my league so I can't help that way, but to help, yeah it's good to get confirmation of bugs, but unless we can patch together and such, it's a long shot from finding the actual problem, since, like I said, it's hard to track down, it's so random. But still, whoever said AMD has the best FOSS drivers was dead wrong, as they're last AFAIK. Intel and Nvidia patches to Mesa even are 10x more. Our guys on here do good work, it's not their fault AMD as a company won't cater to us, though. They don't have much help, it's 4-5 guys, most of them watching this. I mean, if they ditched their Proprietary drivers made in Hong Kong, which aren't bad when they compile on 2 year old kernels, and contributed to Mesa/DRM, we'd of had good drivers years ago. But they don't, so we're here now, and we gotta be patient. You should have known and understood this before you went to a newer technology card. I mean, I'm mad too, I also want to go with a GTX 770ti, but I'm sticking with this to help get it stable, as without users it's also harder to get software into a usable state over all. If you want complete usability on your hardware, you should just go windows then, FWIW. As bad as that sounds, if you need it to work, use what does for your hardware, as new hardware in Linux takes time, especially since there's always new hardware. It works for me, just a few bugs, I'm sorry yours is worse, but there's not much any of us can do. Also, I haven't had a crash in 3 or so days now since I went to LLVM 3.6, even though it doesn't build Mesa with it on 32-bit. Maybe it's fixed, just have to wait for LLVM to update.
