One Bug A Day Keeps AIGLX Away

Posted by Michael Larabel on August 13, 2007

Today marks the release of the 8.40.4 fglrx driver, which fixes a few bugs and offers some minor improvements to the AMD Catalyst Control Center. We have dubbed this the "One Bug A Day Keeps AIGLX Away" release for the driver still lacking AIGLX and still being in the old driver's maintenance cycle. You can guess the name of the next driver here (or just have some comic relief if the fglrx driver has caused you grief). The release notes for the fglrx 8.40.4 driver is available from AMD. You can join our active discussion on this driver in the Phoronix Forums.
