Looks like ATI has a new win driver out, 4.12. Since I had heard this release would coincide with a release of the linux driver, I was overjoyed..........until I found that, in fact, no new linux driver was available.
I've learned that optimism has no place when dealing with ATI...

Well i just droped from ati's drivers and moved to the kernel modules (they support my ATI 9000M card) much better and with no lockups! Razz

Did you have any trouble doing this? Did you simply change the driver in your xorg.conf file or was there more to it?
ATI is killing me. Every other card I own is nVidia with the exception of my laptop.

I don't know what good it does but every so often I send "ATI Linux Driver Feedback" (reached from the linux driver download page) that basically explains how ridiculous it is that their driver does not even give 3D acceleration in the current version of X.org. I tell them they are sending a strong message: "we don't care about our linux userbase."
I would encourage anyone else who has 3 free minutes to do the same.

maybe ATI could stop wasting time on their ridiculously stupid-looking and completely pointless "catalyst control center" and allocate those resources for creating a WORKING LINUX DRIVER. can we not even get THAT for christmas?

| Just emerged the 3.14.1 hoping it would fix the freezes in UT2K4 and DOOM3 but no.... So now I have a 9800pro that is being sold for a 6600GT. Screw ATI. |

I think you made the right decision... I was really hoping for a working driver on xmas.
