That's just the version they tested against, surely. They're not going to "support" distro's they haven't actually tested. Doesn't mean the drivers wont work well on my Arch box.

nice to see that they have caught up to nvidia with opengl standards Hopefully we'll get kernel 3.15 and ubuntu 14.04 LTS support in the next version

Aw, I was proud to say "At least RadeonSI/R600 support more OpenGL 4.4 than Catalyst!".

I kid, congrats to the AMD team.

How do you set overscan? I've got black bars around the screen but the option in ccc appears to have been removed.

Does R9 295X require crossfire?

I am curious if the new R9 295X is unworkable in Linux on the OSS drivers because of lack of crossfire.

Or more accurately, would one-half of R9 295X not work? (the second chip)
