Hello, fglrx-8.881-1.mga2 on cauldron fix the bug of mouse cursor lag I had on KDE. The amd driver history page (see URL submitted) say this bug was fixed on 11.7. The user experience is a pity with this bug. So I think an update of the fglrx driver need to be pushed for mageia 1.

fwang, if it's possible (as you have updated in cauldron)

I've pushed it into updates_testing, please test.
I just reinstalled Mageia 1 from scratch and update fglrx. It works well. $ rpm -qa |grep fglrx fglrx-control-center-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree dkms-fglrx-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree x11-driver-video-fglrx-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree I think these packages can be pushed in update. Thank you Funda

Yann, can you tell us on which arch you have tested ? (i586 / x86_64)

Of course :) I have tested on x86_64 arch.
Has anyone tested this on i56? I can't as my radeon card uses the ati driver.

If nobody can test on i586, I will replace my x86_64 system by an i586 next week to test this.
This update still needs testing in i586 on a system that uses the fglrx driver
I just realized that my office workstation uses the fglrx driver, and I have all update candidates installed, so I consider this tested on i586. However, I'm not sure for such a package 2 different computers are enough. There could be regressions for some kinds of hardware. So my question : are we sure that this new driver fixes more bugs than it adds ?
Given that anyone who does run into problems can always fall back to the release version, I think testing on both architectures is enough. Given that this has been done, I'll validate this update. Can someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm fglrx-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree.src.rpm from Nonfree Updates Testing to Nonfree Updates. Advisory: This is update to the fglrx video driver fixes a problem with mouse cursor lag on KDE. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2452

I do not agree : with only 2 testers, there's still a quite high chance that some users may find a non working X server upon reboot after the installation. Not everyone knows how to downgrade such a package, supposing they found out that the knew driver is what causes their problems ! This update has already been pushed but I really think we should test that kind of update with more hardware. The question is : how ? Mageia-app-db could help in the not too far future, allowing users to subscribe as potential testers for specific packages.
(In reply to comment #12) > Not everyone knows how to downgrade such a package, supposing they found out > that the knew driver is what causes their problems ! You're right. In future, if no-one on the qa-team has the hardware to test a video driver, I'll ask in the dev and general mailing lists, for volunteers.
