When you look at
Do you notice that u 12.10 uses xserver 1.13? It has nothing to do with legacy or not in that case, there exists no official driver at all! Of course you need updates for "both". But please use control file from 12-4 driver for any update to the 12.6legacy driver (which was in fact 12-5).

Really?
If your system is running and you stick with your hardware, you won't need the newest kernel to support your hardware.
Sure, you might miss some features...
...but it's not like you are completely stranded. You still have the choice.

"You still have the choice. "
yep, and you can still run newer kernels with the generic vesa driver or shadowfb, like I'm doing now, lolololol
I'm just happy that now it's not only the first generations of radeons that have been sodomized.Last edited by Pallidus; 13 September 2012, 08:24 AM.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...eon_linux.aspx gives you 12.6 (non-beta)
Will there be a version that supports xserver > 1.12? Or newer kernels?

Because AMD thinks I don't need to.
In the past I have always recommended AMD and I use AMD in two of my machines (CPU and video). With behavior like this they have lost me as a customer for the future.
