I've noticed over the last year the development of pcsx2 linux being like a roller coaster. Sometimes a certain brand of driver works, then it doesn't, then it works again, due to finnicky unstable proprietary drivers. So basically my question is, is FGLRX still supported? With latest month worth or SVNs I cannot get pcsx2 to work at all. It always immediately says "killed" when using FGLRX, in HW or SW mode. Due to radeonsi driver for 7000 series mesa not yet fully functioning yet, I can't get it to work at all on pcsx2. Reason is 7000 series is a different driver than 4000-6000 series and only supports Opengl 2.1 at the moment. Plus performance is extremely poor. I only get 30fps playing a SNES game! I went with 7800 series over the 6800 series due to worthwhile performance difference in Windows emulation and gaming. For Catalyst, I am using the xorg edgers ppa with latest updates and fglrx-13 package that they provide.
To add, when using the pcsx2 ppa compiled on June 19, I get this very familiar warning when using fglrx, in both HW and SW mode.
