xf86-video-ati 6.11.0 Driver Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 18, 2009

Just a week ago there was a new release candidate for the xf86-video-ati driver, but today the ATI 6.11.0 driver has been officially unveiled. Worth noting in this open-source X.Org driver update is a CRTC/output/encoder rework and Render extension repeat mode fixes. The xf86-video-ati 6.11.0 driver also has quite a few bug fixes since the release of xf86-video-ati 6.10, which happened just a month and a half ago.

The full change-log along with source download links for this driver update can be found on the xf86-video-ati driver mailing list.
