  1. Ok, a have uninstall de driver ATI and envy and I have install the new version of envy. At that time I downloade de new Catalyst LE 8.40.4 . I will check if it work ok.

  2. Bon, on dirait que ça marche:
    pierluc@pierluc:~$ glxgears
    377 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.270 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    373 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.454 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.113 FPS
    375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.854 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.113 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.053 FPS
    372 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.314 FPS

    Not very good but it work.

    But, it has a thing that i don’t understand: Why I had 393.111 FPS with no graphical accelaration with the old driver ans at that time I have 75FPS with the accelaration?

    it looks like you had framesync activated on that test with glxgears. the amount of frames rendered per second was bound to the monitor frequency, in your case that would make 75 hz.

    you can fix it with the aticonfig option –sync-vsync={on|off}
