8.37 Driver Delay

[Michael]

There's no link to download the driver package on that page, and the "Download a driver" link on AMD's page still shows the 8.36 driver.

Why don't the release notes say anything about Xorg Server 1.3 Support?

The fix just involved changing a conditional statement, which is probably why it's not mentioned.

An X-Video cropping issue with TV-out is fixed though.

as usual - blame microsoft :]

They are working on 8.38 for some time now, so this is not the reason. The delay was caused by Microsoft, because they had problems with their WHQL Lab.

Im quite sure this delay is because of R600 and how difficult it seems to be to optimize drivers for it. I really need this driver though as the xv bug, which hopefully has been fixed, is getting quite annoying.
