Subject: Re: scalar mode
I',m sorry, but it did not help in my case :(
i tried sabayon with recent catalyst 12.10 and my ubuntu 12.04 with
catalyst 12.8 and the very recent 12.11 beta8
none of them were working, but 12.11beta even did not work with the version
<= 13.11.2012
I guess its AMD's damn driver and will simply use the old build with
catalyst 12.8.
Btw. while i tested your recent builds on my Netbook running ION i never
had any issues, so Nvidia drivers seem to be much more stable ....
Of course it is slow 120c/s.. but i never runs into segfault...
