What problem do you have? I've got no problems with my 6870 and Catalyst 12.11 drivers except for really weird stuttering in tf2 once in a while.
Running 64-bit Arch with multilib enabled, so I've got lib32-catalyst-utils 12.11 too.

~40FPS in TF2 with everything on low.
With a 5770. Catalyst 12.11.

try using an fps config. I'm using Chris' maxframes and I get 120+.

I'm not going to start fucking about with some weird FPS configurations when I know that my card can run the game, at full, with 60FPS.
It's the drivers fault, and AMD can go fuck themselves.
Linux drivers are the reason I switched from AMD to nVidia, even back when AMD cards were ATi, a Canadian company worth supporting.
The next GPU I'm getting is definitely Nvidia, but I upgrade hardware like once a decade, so...
Shame that there's nobody to compete with nVidia if AMD tanks.
I fucking hate it when I lose track of screen sessions. I just had like 6 screen sessions on my server, except only 3 of them were active, but they were all attached somewhere.
Shit got weird trying to figure that mess out.

Intel has pretty good, and open, drivers, but their GPUs aren't exactly top notch.

Okay, who seriously thought the way GNOME went was a good idea? It's almost like having to press the Start menu just to multitask, asides from alt-tabbing.

Some of what they did had potential, but it was too bad in performance. Still is too.
Now that I think about it, GNOME 3 and the Windows 8 Metro crap are kind of similar.
In case anyone faces similar issues, my CPU temp is at a cool 70*C while playing TF2 now. I cleaned out my fans, disabled "Sync to VBlank" in nvidia-settings (suggested by Valve) and disabled multi-core rendering in TF2. Now I get consistently smooth framerates with consistently cool CPU/GPU.
How do I run a crontab every 6 hours, properly?
/6 means on all hours that are divisible by 6, but midnight is marked as 0:00, not 24:00, so it would only run 3 times a day.

Nevermind, it's 3am, I forgot you can just do 0,6,12,18
Yay font rendering!

It happens to me too! The fuck is wrong with my fonts, it even messes with my vim.
Don't know =/ It only happens on chrome tabs for me, but I can't figure out why.
It's kinda funny though; it changes every time so I get to figure out new names every time!

Don't think that's been updated in a while
I'm too lazy to customize Openbox and tint2, even though I feel like it's worth the while.

Okay one thing, the font is pure shit. Sometimes not aligned and it's hurting my eyes. Using Crunchbang. How would i go about getting a new font than this? I never tried before, plus which font should i get?
ttf-dejavu or ttf-liberation should do. You could use the package manager to download them.
Recently I got into the steam linux beta. Since I didn't want to redownload all my games I just symlinked the linux SteamApps to my wine steamapps.
This is all fine and dandy except that the linux version of steam likes its gcfs names 'This Is A Gcf.gcf' but the ones that my wine install of steam downloaded are named 'this is a gcf.gcf' This is a problem because linux likes it's filesystems case sensitive and so the linux version of steam would only kind of find my gcfs (It saw that they were downloaded but the games wouldn't run).
I didn't want to rename 20 files manually so I wrote a fancy oneliner to do the job.
[code]
ls *.gcf | sed -r -e '/^[A-Z]/d' -e "s/^.*$/'&'/" -e 'h;s/\b./\u&/g;s/Gcf/gcf/;x' -e "s/^.*$/mv & /" -e 'G;s/\n//'
[/code]
This generates a bunch of mv oldfile newfile commands when I want to run them I just add '| sh' at the end of the line.
I feel like a wizard.
Ah, weird-ass sed chains. Those are brilliant.
