I looked at bugs.gentoo.org and could not find it. The bug |
| 22 |
number would be greatly appreciated? |

Since upgrading to ati-8.552-r2 |

When playing bzflag, sporadically I get what looks like a loss |
| 28 |
of sync, then it pops back ok after a long second or 2...... |

Reading the link posted by another user (KH): |

I see this prose (very exciting) on page 5/6: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
"ATI Stream Computing Support" |
| 38 |

It seems that with ATI Catalyst 8.12, we commoners can |
| 40 |
finally access and program so that the GPU is another |
| 41 |
available processor for us to access and use. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Anyone with information, particularly relate to 'howto' |
| 45 |
use an ATI GPU under gentoo, would be of keen interest |
| 46 |
to me. I'm wondering if the aforementioned (experimental) |
| 47 |
ebuild would address basic access to the GPU? |
