The driver contains OpenGL 3.2 support.

Useless update for those who want to test xvba.

[mirv]

leaving aside any comments about xvba (no need to get into that again!), opengl3.2 support is welcome. Shall have to try it out soon.

Is this release working with Xserver 1.7 (xorg 7.5)?

[poofyyoda]

damn, i've got the dreaded 'black screen' that everyones been ranting about for years, but I've never been afflicted until now...

Is there any synopsis on what causes it? or just bad luck

[baskin]

Try to remove /etc/ati/amdpcsdb and reboot.

[Loris]

Is this release working with Xserver 1.7 (xorg 7.5)?

By reading the documentation, I think not.

[Hoodlum]

I would try it but unfortunately supporting xorg releases isn't a priority so I can't.
