Fedora 14's Clutter with r600g from GIT

I've been trying to run some Clutter based apps, like fosfor, on Fedora 14 for awhile now. F14 uses clutter 1.2 and the upgraded ATI ddx driver does vblank signaling differently than the original ATI driver shipped with F13. Which leads to the problems I've had with getting the clutter apps to redraw properly when using a newer DDX, including the one found in updates. Fosfor would not resize windows or things would come up blank when they should be correct.

Today I came across something in a mailing list that made it work.

CLUTTER_VBLANK=none

So I added that to my ~/.bashrc file and relogged in and since then my Clutter based apps have been working.

NeverWinter Nights on r600g

I've been testing NeverWinter Nights on the r600g driver for Linux and I have enabled s3 textures and tiling and NWN is looking great.

gecko-mediaplayer in Chrome

gecko-mediaplayer and Chrome have not always got along so well together. But there are reports that the Chrome 11.0.686.0 and gecko-mediaplayer are working together, finally. gecko-mediaplayer had been blacklisted due to a bug the gecko-mediaplayer exposed in Chrome.

You can see the post on the mailing list here:
