Where is fglrx / catalyst 8.5?

If you have examples of DX apps which work with wine on another card but not with our current driver can you let us know ?

My thoughts too. Looks like I'm sticking to 8.4 for a while. *sigh*. I was looking forward to this update, too - wine keeps failing with literally every directx app I care to try (it didn't with my old nvidia card), and I was hoping a driver update would fix it.
This is what I get for rampant fanboyism, I guess. I only bought ATI because they'd been bought by AMD, and they were doing the open-source thing. If I'd thought on it more, I'd have stuck to nvidia for a year or two more.

I'm pretty sure it's just a packaging change -- wouldn't expect anything other than the watermark to be affected.

Are there any code changes with the new version? I'm hesitant to retry it, as it seems unlikely...
Also, my last post appears to have not made it. To wit: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1139

Not sure what that post meant; maybe the poster had an issue with the kernel module not being installed or not initializing properly and getting slow/failing 3D as a result.
re: the version numbers, this is Catalyst 8.5, ie the 5th release of 2008, which also happens to be internal release number 8.493.

This is a really, really bad update for me. http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1139 explains why.
Anyone else have this sort of issue?

An updated driver package has been posted; watermark should be gone now.
Please navigate through http://www.amd.com in case the URL changed.
EDIT... or just click here : http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...ux-radeon.html

Release notes seem to be lengthy.
"Support for video playback on the second head in dual head mode is now available."
Wasn't this a very old bug they seem to have fixed now?

Or just put that long ugly number in /etc/ati/signature after installing it.
