12.8 up on site, but broken link

[Soul_keeper]

shamefull

I was looking for support for more recent stable kernel versions also.
They can do this in an agnostic way which doesn't require editing their headers/source everytime the version number changes.
I guess they feel they need to "validate" support on a case by case basis as budgets permit ?

There's nothing besides a few fixes as they have been working on the 9.00 branch for quite some time now. Hopefully coming next month.

Thanks for figuring out that minor link change, strange mistake they made, and stranger that they still haven't seemed to get around to fixing it. Does anyone who has this installed notice any changes (improvements/regressions)? I just installed, and it seems to be no different from 12.6.

it's built upon the same 8.98 stream as 12.6 so apart from maybe 1%-2% performance increase in some areas lol that's if there are any, the only upgrades are the No more xserver 1.12 crash for amd64 and patches for kernel 3.4 lol So unless you really like to be up to date it's no different than 12.6 lol or if ofc you have xserver 1.12 or want 3.4 kernel however for me it seems as though the animations are a tad faster not very noticeable though lol

Right something is certainly wrong with the Link however you can still obtain the file from the ati server by changing the url to this and then extracting the zip http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/am...x86.x86_64.zip You will then have ati catalyst 12.8

it isn't too hard to get it working with 3.5
or get the patch from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29111

lol I know that xD however I meant by default without any messing around needed

If it don't work without patching then I don't like it xD im just annoyed that amd haven't supported 3.5 kernel by now lol

[.CME.]

Ummmm doesn't work with kernel 3.5 for me thats why I've been waiting for 12.8 :'( blah just read the main page and changes given on here lol what's the fricken point of another driver for. 12.04 blah stupid amd -_-

Thanks for the reply.

Been stuck on 3.3.8 for too long.

lol no problem xD in other news I posted the problem on the amd game forum with the correct link and they have updated the amd site some time ago don't know when xD so it now points the the .zip link

Also anyone on ubuntu 12.10 there is a 3.4 series kernels available here --> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ while it does mean downgrading your kernel it does mean you can enjoy the AMD graphics update xD

According to other sources the 12.8 driver does indeed work with kernel series 3.4

"No more xserver 1.12 crash for amd64 and patches for kernel 3.4" is what the other source has said

Does it at least work with the 3.4 series ?
