On Apr 27 11 the fglrx module version 11.4 was published. On a 64bit instance (thinkpad w500), the Gnome bar is still a bit funky in that little incons in the bar look wrong in “non-mouse-over” state. Other than that, it seems to be working. I tried the idea above using dynpm instead of low and that wasn’t enough savings. So it looks like there are two work-arounds available and you can decide which works better for you until the open source driver is fixed.

I’ve got a laptop with an ATI chipset. I tried GNOME 3 with the ATI driver but even with the anti-tearing option selected in the ATI tools, the tearing was unacceptable. However, this particular laptop seems to function just fine with the open source “radeon” driver – it’s a fairly old chip set. So if I can get all the gnome-shell 2.91 magic to work on it, I’ll post the details here.

There is no ATI. The company is called AMD.
