AMD Catalyst 7.12 Linux Driver -- The Baby's In Surgery
But did you notice in that thread a nvidia employee recognizing the bug, giving a bug number and letting the users know that investigation was occuring?
We reproduced the issue and NVIDIA bug #379270 was opened. Our team is investigating.

Nice lesson in PR for AMD/ATI I think.
AMD is aware of the wide screen bug and others in this thread, I just sent off an email to make sure.

Seems good. But I've just ordered my nvidia replacement!
Here are my own personal experiences with the driver:
ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP
Direct rendering still works.
xv seems to work OK.
Dual-head is still totally broken for me.
AIGLX still does not work - compiz refuses to start, no matter which workarounds or hacks I try.
No OpenGL memory leak (although I could never reproduce this in the first place)
amdcccle looks nice, seems to work fine
On first try, I still had to run glxgears, Ctrl-C, then run it again for it to appear.
Overall, no significant changes for my system since last release.
BTW - I do the catalyst packaging for Arch Linux - how do I go about contributing to phorogit?
If you want to get your scripts on Phorogit (and included with the actual driver installer) and on the beta program, send an email to michael [at] phoronix.com and I can forward it on to AMD.
This is the first fglrx-version ever that blankly refuses to drive my laptop LCD at its native 1680x1050 resolution. Nice trick. Yes I know it's mentioned in the release notes, but it's a real bummer, still. This is why it got somewhat delayed ?
Going back to trusty old 8.40.4 *sigh*. This driver looked to be a good release, but then yet another *huge* showstopper emerges.
Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m, ATI radeon mobile X1400.. Affected by widescreen-bug.
