    No.

    And I am serious.

    But I AM a software developer, and actually have had to support another's abandoned code, which is almost definitely the case with fglrx. It is obvious by the large shuffling around that the new team has their act together.

      Yes, supporting abandoned code is definitelly not nice, but as a client I don't care. They had 2 and a half years to sort it out. In 2 years you can make a driver from scratch!

        Enabling AIGLX/Compiz gives me a white screen in a few seconds...

          Had the same problem. "fglrxinfo" told me I was actually using mesa. I then tried a "manual" install and it worked fine.

            Strange... no problems here with a X1600 pro 256MB AGP + Archlinux i686...

            EDIT: oh, white screen-bug too, when using compiz-fusion

              What's the best way to uninstall (i.e., remove) the 8.02 driver? Will the installer do that, or is it a matter of hunting down and manually removing all the files?

                It's a matter of removing some packages and revert to previous version of others.

                  I've already rmmod fglrx and installed radeonhd (works fine).

                  Now just looking for the easiest way to expunge of all the fglrx files.
