I want that or a stable version of ubuntu xorg-edgers package...
As it is now, each time i'm upgrading my ubuntu natty, I don't know if the system will reboot or if the radeon driver will crash on me

Reading stuff like this makes me happy I'm not an AMD user...
See, goes both ways...
Anyway, it's the same f***ing circus every damn month when fglrx comes out... Does one have to club the whiners senseless with a lamp post before they finally get the "2 different companies, 2 different policies" part?

Reading this, followed by this, then this, this, this together with this, this, and finally seeing this (some folks apparently never learn eh?) makes me EXTREMELY happy I'm not an nvidia user...
Though I couldn't find the FUD slides from the Kyro II days, and it felt redundant to dig info about how the Nouveau team works...
Have a nice day.

2. Don't run xorg-edgers PPA if you don't like breakage.

That basically means that its going to be all about ubuntu.
The whole closed source process by AMD is completely backwards. Fglrx should be scrapped; it's a huge joke.
