ATi fglrx 8.38.7 Hotfix released!

[d2kx]

Not only Windows XP & Vista, now ATi releases Linux Hotfixes, too! This hotfix is intended to fix:

"Using aticonfig --initial segfaults destroying xorg.conf file when run in X with Vesa driver."

but in the Windows hotfixes it is just the current driver so it is possible that there are more changes.

Can anyone test if these work with Fedora for example?

Fedora 7 support will not appear until 8.39.

Michael,

when you say that Fedora 7 Support will not come until 8.39, then I guess it is already fixed in the Beta. And hotfixes usually don't just fix the bug listed in the Customer Care, but include the current driver (usually 2 days old instead of 14 year old when a new official driver is released), so it is possible that this hotfix already includes the Fedora fix IF this issue is fixed in beta.

they might consider pushing out xdeltas for people with bandwidth limits in such case.

Maybe your wish comes true. I will keep you updated when a new hotfix gets released (which won't happen before at least one day after 8.39).

But they won't pushing out xdeltas.
