ati catalyst 10.6 released

Great !

Guess I should mention again that this actually has nothing to do with Direct2D, we just used a testing flag that was left over from Direct2D development on Windows to enable the new 2D accel code on Linux.

If we absolutely *have* to have a name for this new accel code let's call it "ATI 2D Acceleration Architecture" or A2AA for short

I cant get a download link to show up on the 10.6 driver page...

[bwat47]

Can someone give me a direct link? I tried it in firefox (ubuntu) and IE and firefox in windows 7 theres jst a blank space where the downlaod button should be...

[bridgman]

Yeah, neither can I, not sure why. It shows up fine at the link in the first post :

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.32&lang=English

... but not if I navigate there :

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English

So go with the link from the first page (ie the first of the two links above) and see if that works. I'll ping the web team.

[bwat47]

That link does not work for me either

[bridgman]

OK, now that's wierd. You're clicking on the upper link, right ?

[bwat47]

Yeah I tried both those links multiple times, just a blank space where it says the download button should be.

[bridgman]

(scratches head)

[bwat47]

there is no separate notebook drivers for fglrx right? Because I can get it to show up ONLY if I go to the main amd driver page and select desktop graphics, and it looks like the same driver.

[bridgman]

Right. Same driver for all supported GPUs.

We have separate mobile drivers for Windows because there is a lot of OEM-specific differentiation, but we only get asked to implement those features on Windows ;(
