Can we expect new driver this month?
Considering the fact that Linux driver has entered Catalyst release-style, and by doing this ATI has comitted to 6 releases a year, can we anyhow expect new driver this month?
The first release of the year happended in January, second in Februrary, March was skipped, so I just ask...

If zardon has no idea, then ATI has no idea too
 .Let's hope for the best , but anyway, sometimes it is really sad. Usually there's no feedback when there's no drivers  .croky

I hope something comes soon because fglrx will not install in the latest version of Mandrake (10.2 Limited Edition RC2) because there is a conflict with the latest version of xorg. I am running xorg 6.8.2-6
This is what I get: Code:
#rpm -Uvh fglrx* Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1 conflicts with file from package libxorg-x11-6.8.2-6mdk Code:
#fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1) Last edited by EcPercy; Apr 7, 2005 at 08:38 PM. |

Delivered.
As of April 7/05, I think it's safe to say that expectations of a new driver this month were met
 Release notes are here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.12.10.html Can this thread be locked now? |

Well, as mentioned there's a new version of cats for *nix operating systems here:
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27 And as Kombatant verified, new versions are scheduled to be released every two months. Therefore, I believe that this thread can be safely locked
