ATI Radeon 6.7.195 Driver Release

Posted by Michael Larabel on October 05, 2007

Alex Deucher has pushed out another release candidate for the xf86-video-ati driver designed for the pre-R500 ATI Radeon GPUs (not to be confused with RadeonHD). In total there are 29 changes for the xf86-video-ati 6.7.195 release candidate -- 19 of them are targeted for the Radeon driver, 9 for the Mach64, and one being for the rc410. The most notable changes for this release include fixing the support for the single CRTC graphics cards, LVDS/RMX is finally sorted out, and pci-rework for ati_msic/radeon. The PowerPC build has also been fixed in this X.Org ATI driver release. Alex had mentioned in the 6.7.195 release announcement that the xf86-video-ati 6.8.0 driver will be released as soon as all of the sub drivers are ported to using pci-rework.
