ATI släppte nya drivrutiner igår. Nu med "Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition". 
Riktigt bra faktiskt. + bra TV-out stöd.
Fixade dessutom dessa problem:
* A black screen is no longer observed on some hardware when switching to the console or leaving the X window system when a Vesa framebuffer console driver is used. Further details can be found in topic number 737-28558
* Connecting a component Video display device launching X-Server no longer results in X-Server failing to start and the display device displaying a black screen. Further details can be found in topic number 737-28846
* The DRI no longer fails to initialize in the second server generation. Further details can be found in topic number 737-28847
* Pressing the identify displays function no longer results in display device 1 and 2 being incorrectly identified. Further details can be found in topic number 737-28848
* A Floating Point Exception error no longer occurs when launching amdcccle. Further details can be found in topic number 737-28849
Tyvärr inget AIGLX än dock...
Men helt klart rekommenderade.
För att intallera:
1. Ladda ner drivrutinerna från ati.amd.com
2. Installera kernel headers, (behövs inte om du kompilerat en egen kärna)
3. Gör drivrutinsfilen körbar med "chmod +x ./filen"
4. Starta installationsprogrammet som root med "./filen".
5. Kolla om installationen lyckades. Titta i filen "/usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log". Där bör det finnas något i stil med:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-xxx*/
build succeeded with return value 0
Om så, kör "aticonfig --initial" och starta om datorn. Lycka till!
EDIT:
Release Note från ATI:
