    Michael, kindly to indicate whether AA will still work when AIGLX's enabled?

      Basically that thread should not be about any feature of the driver, just about the compression of it...

          So, now my script is ready for automatic adding a static variant of lzmadec if lzmadec.gz is in the same dir, filesize:

          51213090 ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x86_64.run
          23317971 ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x86_64.run.lzma
          23525503 ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x86_64.run.lzma.static

          So the diff is only: 207532 byte. Btw. my script can be used to make a stripped down version too, like only x86 and only Xorg 7.1+ would be:

          13294358 ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x710.run.lzma.static

          When you remove all setup files (--buildpkg only then):

          11486143 ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x710.no-setup.run.lzma.static

          That would fit nicely on a cd, when you compare it with NVIDIA 32 bit only:

          7594280 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.23-pkg0.run

          Not that much bigger...
