| − | ATI Catalyst Linux 7.11 driver
| + | Phenomenal brakedown of the topic, you should write for me too! |
| − | | + | |
| − | Release date: 21 November, 2007

| − | | + | |
| − | The new driver release carry a new name (the same used for the Windows counterpart) and version numbering (7.11 means year 2007, month November). It is still a proprietary closed-source driver.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The main improvement is the full support to 2.6.23 kernel. This should solve the Suspend/Hibernation problems recently found due to the incompatibilities between older fglrx driver and SLUB memory allocator (default in the 2.6.23 kernel).
