Yes, I read about and saw some rude voides over there.
But better have a stable and working implementation a little bit later than a thing that crashes the system or makes a lot of mess pressed into the "market" as early as possible like some commercial software (e.g. games are often released too early and full of bugs). Though it will be a hard time for me still to wait til .32 to see it hopefully finally working. Maybe fglrx catches up and fills the gap inbetween.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

Very good. Black screen is gone on glxgears.
Graphic corruption still there. This is seen on my hardware by opening a terminal in X and using cli to start glxgears. Ones the gears are spinning, grap the terminal window and drag it partially over the gears window. Below the gears window, graphic corruption occurs.
Definitely progress. Keep up efforts.

Thank you very much!
This may not be the best place. but I'd like to thank everyone involved for these great news!
I've made a few comments about how much fglrx sucks for me which in fact turned out to be a hardware defect (that is already off the table), but last time I checked it sucked for real and big time (it began to take at least three dozen times longer to even get to the login screen and GNOME also started much slower, but my absolutely favorite part was the horror when I tried to play some video - no matter if Compiz was on or off - and drag it's viewport around the desktop at the same time), so right now I'm stuck with Ubuntu 9.04's default xf86-video-ati, which leaves me only with EXA and Xv.
Now, this means I may actually see my card doing useful stuff with open driver by the time 9.10 gets out, which makes me so ecstatic that I won't have much trouble forgetting everything and just be glad I purchased ATi GPU afterall!
Excellent, keep up the good work
