Thanks to Jan from the Archlinux dev's!

Hi,
Thanks for the notice about a new catalyst. 8.10 actually doesn't
support anything, 8.11 will do. I grabbed a prerelease from Ubuntu that
has been released to canonical for the Ubuntu 8.10 release. This driver
should support X.Org 7.4 without too much problems.
The new drivers are in testing for i686 at this moment, if you're
running this architecture, please give it a try so I can move X.Org
soon.

and here you can find a prebuild from ATI driver 8.11 (Ubuntu Version)
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/fglrx-installer/
Roadmap ATI drivers from AMD. The Final release 8.11 (November) will support the future Ubuntu release. I have no info's about Fedora or openSUSE.
With the Archlinux xorg 1.5.2 move also the catalyst and catalyst-utils will support Archlinux. |
With this informations you can now compile your own drivers if needed. Maybe some SIDUX user can use the Ubuntu driver too  |
