I wonder if ATI will "fix" the Catalyst Control Center to be compatible with X.Org distros that use XCB:
Code:amdcccle: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Aborted
Code:export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1

what I expect from 8.42 is:
- a slighly better performance than 8.41 (some more FPS).
-AIGLX support.
-stability.
is that impossible??
optionally (i think this will not be included in this release):
-latest xorg support.
-latest kerrnel support.
-multiple screens support.
-a working control center.
when i said few hours, i was talking of 40 hours approx (maybe less).
sorry my english...

I think the driver will be released between 8pm and 11pm UTC+2
And I hope that the performance will be improved improved improved. The ETQW demo is not playable where the Windows demo is running with high settings on my x850xt.
And I also hope that GoogleEarth is running too, again.

Performance boost in 8.41 was terrific for the x200M, i can't wait for the stability, and extra goodies of 8.42
-latest xorg support.
-latest kerrnel support.
but for this assertion to be right we need someone to confirm it. unfortunately all devs have ndas with amd/ati and it's quite probable that we'll have to wait for the driver to be released to have such info from them.
anyway, i just have to say that in the last period the driver had quite some progress. and with the oss radeonhd project things seem to go for a better support.

You can not compile on 64 bit? Thats wrong, tested it always with current 64 bit live cds and it always worked. Maybe your kernel was compiled with gcc-3.3, then you need it for the kernel module too. Check:
cat /proc/version
The same compiler should be used for additional kernel modules. If your kernel was compiled with an old compiler then recompile it or install old compiler!
