I'm giving you details on how to more help us, and if you can run Linux in any
way, and understand how the command line works even remotely, and how packages
work, going to a better system/learning one little thing like code compiling
isn't hard is my point, if you don't want to, that is fine, but at the same
time, even I'm a programmer, and the DRM infrastructure and hardware isn't in
my league so I can't help that way, but to help, yeah it's good to get
confirmation of bugs, but unless we can patch together and such, it's a long
shot from finding the actual problem, since, like I said, it's hard to track
down, it's so random.

But still, whoever said AMD has the best FOSS drivers was dead wrong, as
they're last AFAIK. Intel and Nvidia patches to Mesa even are 10x more. Our
guys on here do good work, it's not their fault AMD as a company won't cater to
us, though. They don't have much help, it's 4-5 guys, most of them watching
this. I mean, if they ditched their Proprietary drivers made in Hong Kong,
which aren't bad when they compile on 2 year old kernels, and contributed to
Mesa/DRM, we'd of had good drivers years ago. But they don't, so we're here
now, and we gotta be patient. You should have known and understood this before
you went to a newer technology card. I mean, I'm mad too, I also want to go
with a GTX 770ti, but I'm sticking with this to help get it stable, as without
users it's also harder to get software into a usable state over all.

If you want complete usability on your hardware, you should just go windows
then, FWIW. As bad as that sounds, if you need it to work, use what does for
your hardware, as new hardware in Linux takes time, especially since there's
always new hardware. It works for me, just a few bugs, I'm sorry yours is
worse, but there's not much any of us can do.

Also, I haven't had a crash in 3 or so days now since I went to LLVM 3.6, even
though it doesn't build Mesa with it on 32-bit. Maybe it's fixed, just have to
wait for LLVM to update.
