My guess is it'll be announced as "coming next week" by Phoronix perpetually, then eventually get a stable release in April-May.

Well have anyone got the opencl baby to run?
I just downloaded the beta driver from ati's stream site and the stream sdk.
I got this system:
ubuntu 9.10
radeon 4650
The driver runs, but I got a "Testing use only, Unsupported hardware", bottom right off my screen. 2d, 3d and so works fine, but when I try run a demo sample from the SDK, I get a segmentation fault.
Code:(gdb) run Starting program: ~/ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86_64/HelloCL [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] HelloCL!

Probably best to post on the Stream forum at developer.amd.com; that's where the Stream folks hang out. Don't think there has been much testing on Ubuntu 9.10 but that wouldn't explain the Unsupported Hardware icon; first thought is some kind of installation issue with the driver.Test signature

There are 2 watermarks possible, one is unsupported hardware, that means you have to replace the /etc/control file and the other is a check for /etc/signature which is missing on beta drivers. You can take both files from any other driver.

The SDK is a beta, tested on 9.04, and I would be surprised if it were trouble free on 9.10.
I created a thread on amd's developer forum. I can see other have the same problem, so I believe it will get fixed.
