Cool,

Seems like the latest driver (8.12.10-1) make VTK work again ! this is 
really cool. The results of the VTK dashboard is here:

403 passed, 54 failed, 0 not run

There is still some problem with tiling:

Some minor glytches in surface mode:

This one I am not sure:

It seems I have antialiasing by default.

Anyway thank you all. This is so much better !


---------------------------------------

Some remarks when using paraview.
1. When starting paraview, it first draw a small semi-transparent black 
and white checkboard, then paraview start properly.

2. While using paraview if you opgn a message box (save dialog) the 
context get scranbled with the opengl one (just below it).

3. If you play and move around the save dialog you get this checkboard 
effect on the message box.

4. If you reduce paraview and move it around (so that opengl context is 
out of the sreen) you can scramble the opengl window for a few seconds.


I'll try playing more with paraview on monday,
Mathieu

For reference here is how I build it:
export CC=gcc (forcing to use 3.x instead of 2.95)
sudo apt-get install debhelper kernel-package libqt3-mt-dev xlibs-dev 
libxtst-dev fakeroot rpm wget
sudo dpkg-source -x fglrx-installer_8.12.10-1.dsc
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -tc -i -D
cd ..
dpkg -i fglrx-driver_8.12.10-1_arch.deb
dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-src_8.12.10-1_arch.deb
cd /usr/src
tar xzvf fglrx-kernel-src.tar.gz
cd /usr/src/modules/fglrx-kernel-src
sudo ./make.sh
sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686-smp/misc (do not forget to create 
dir first)
cp fglrx.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686-smp/misc
sudo depmod -ae

restart X...
