Open-Source ATI 6.7.197 Driver Released

If NVIDIA releasing the 169.07 driver and AMD releasing the ATI Catalyst 7.12 driver wasn't enough today, the xf86-video-ati 6.7.197 driver is now available for download. We reported earlier this week that this new release candidate would be coming and today it finally has arrived. Since the ATI 6.7.196 RC release, there have been over three dozen changes to the xf86-video-ati driver. Some of the major changes in this release include improved PLL handling, better notebook lid detection via Linux ACPI, fixed EXA transforms, improved Mac support, and a good number of bug fixes. The release announcement can be read on the X.Org mailing list.
