    Dell 6400 users, if you have ati x1300 or x1400 then you can get used nVidia 6400 on eBay for 40 bucks and replace video card in 20 minutes, why suffer using ati?
    I wish I could do that on my Acer Travelmate 8103 .

      interestingly enough the issue related to CRT monitors that showed up in 8.42.3 is no longer an issue in this release.

        What are they doing over there? I thought they would at least fix some bugs, but no: The "bus error" is back, and as such I can't start any OpenGL application with this driver.....

I used it to to change the position and size of the TV-OUT image and it worked like in Windows. But when I restarted X every change was lost. I had to use aticonfig(bliah).
          Had the same issue in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10/x64 ... had to go to System -> Screen Resolution and click the 'Make this default' box after the change. Don't know if this is some gnome tweak or what's going on under the covers, but it worked for me.

          Also, aticonfig never worked right for me after login, so maybe it's a different issue.

            I also have gutsy amd64 installed. But now I can't test your method(because I am bored and I don't want to have a nervous breakdown).

            I think that Catalyst Center should write everything in x.org file like aticonfig. Otherwise what's the point of using Catalyst Center???

                Does anyone know of Debian Sid specific installation instructions for 7.11?

                    we have suggested amd to fire fglrx dev, now what?

                    they came up with the cheap idea, renaming fglrx.

                    AMD treats customers as brainless.

                    Please, AMD, we asked for firing of fglrx developers. Cheap tricks won't do it.

                    Anyway, I have to make the decision, when to open my ati based laptop, take out the ati card, and burn it.

                    May there be justice!

                      Make sure you burn the whole thing, because unless you've got a mxm slot (which as far as I know maybe about 10 notebooks out there have ) it will be useless without it.
