The problem was that OpenSSH has its own windowing system over TCP&#8217;s, and that its buffer were two small to be able to maximise the bandwidth on, say, a 1 Gbps link with 10ms latency, so you would get a ridiculous bandwidth because of that, even if TCP was correctly tuned. A patch (hpn-ssh) has been existing for a long time, but strangely, people don&#8217;t like patching their SSH servers and clients.<br \/>\nThat means I can now get decent bandwidth using scp or rsync over long distance links.<\/li>\n<li>The radeon driver now supports TV out for R600 cards (including my X1250). I can now stop using the proprietary fglrx driver, and make the computer under the TV completely free!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OK, both changes have been there for a long time, but I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not the only one who didn&#8217;t notice them at the time.
