I shouldn't talk about it but I'll say it anyway : We (at ATI) are going to provide the best fglrx drivers ever for Linux with EVERYTHING fixed and AIGLX perfectly working.
I'll probably get fired after telling you this because of my NDA with ATI, sorry, AMD, but here it is : get prepared for these amazing new drivers !
I guess I'll have to wait till next month to see 8.42... I'll be on vacation from this saturday...

After discovering a non-disclosure violation on the Phoronix forums commited by one of their developers, AMD/ATI fired the developer of their linux graphics driver software (aka "fglrx"). The release of the already announced 8.42 driver version will be delayed until a new developer is hired and has build up a deep understanding of the currrent codebase.
That's what you get for pressing people, folks!
(For those who did not get it: THIS IS A JOKE (hopefully)).

The sole developer or the NDA is a joke?

Unfortunately for the Linux community, this is not a joke. I've just been fired by AMD a couple hours ago.
The bad thing is that I didn't have the time to release the 8.42 driver so it probably won't be released this month or even this year...
