AMD Catalyst 9.3 For Linux Brings OpenGL Composite Support

**MIG-31** · Mar 27, 2009, 07:14 PM

While the Catalyst driver for Windows was released a number of days ago, the Catalyst Linux Driver was missing. It has, however, been released today. AMD's Linux engineers ended up delaying the Catalyst 9.3 release so they could spend additional time tuning this driver, since it will be the last release that supports the R300 through R500 series as the support is being dropped. The significant feature that was pushed back into the Catalyst 9.3 Linux driver is improved Composite support.
