    Now, who was it that said fglrx will get 1.7 support just after 1.8 is out?

    It's already working with the Xorg GIT version , so in practice FGLRX 10.4 beta (ubuntu leak) IS compatible already with Xorg 1.8 as there were no such changes that prevent that!

    I personally am using Xorg GIT under Arch linux, along with other Arch users (Vi0L0).

    What's needed is to checkout GIT and modify the configure.ac's version number to 1.7.5.1 - it will work with the fglrx perfectly just as with xorg-server 1.7!!

    Check this and this:



    It would be nice to have a HOTFIX version of the 10.4 that will allow the 1.8 version definitions of XORG to work with fglrx catalyst.

    They do, you can usually find them buried in some ubuntu repository.
