AMD Catalyst 11.10 Linux Driver Released
Posted by Michael Larabel on October 31, 2011
On the last day of the month, AMD has released Catalyst 11.10 as their October 2011 proprietary Linux driver update.
AMD Catalyst 11.10 / fglrx 8.90 series has "early look" Ubuntu 11.10 support (even though it's been in since the fglrx 8.89 series), production-rated support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7, and 2D performance improvements for the AMD Brazos platform.
There's also a few bug-fixes in this month's driver, including a segmentation fault fix under Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, among other things. Also fixed up in AMD Catalyst 11.10 for Linux is addressing corruption issues when using the GNOME Shell. Those are just the changes I am aware of, with AMD not publicly pushing out release notes / change-logs any longer for their Linux binary blob.
This latest Linux graphics driver can be downloaded from this page for x86/x86_64 Linux.
