** RHEL 4.8 production support
** Ubuntu 9.04 production support
* ATI CatalystTM Control Center Linux Edition support for RandR 1.2 and includes the following new features:
** Display rotation
** Multiple display arrangement and desktop sizing

== Resolved Issues ==
* Catalyst Control Center: Display Manager now displays HDTV PAL modes
* [Ubuntu 9.04] Moving the mouse cursor between displays no longer leaves behind a static mouse cursor for multi ASIC configured systems
* [RandR 1.2] Monitor detection now functions properly, client no longer takes several seconds per monitor
* Catalyst Control Center: CrossFire aspect will no longer apply current settings when the cancel button is pressed
* [RandR 1.2] Specifying Rotate in xorg.conf no longer causes X startup to fail
* Toggling between terminals no longer causes the system to become unresponsive
* Executing aticonfig commands on a new Ubuntu 9.04 installation no longer causes error messages

== Known Issues ==
* Running "aticonfig --crossfire=off" might not disable CrossFire under specific configurations
* System may become unresponsive when toggling between virtual terminals in multi-head configuration with application running
* System may stop responding when running Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
* Error message may appear while playing H264/VC1/mpeg2 media files with Hardware Acceleration
* Secondary display may go blank when X is stopped
* The mouse cursor may show incorrect rotation and position on some systems with large desktop enabled
* Segmentation fault may occur or system may display error during boot up if X is stopped in Dual-Head mode
* [RandR 1.2] Enabling disabled GPU may cause desktop overlap (default monitor section not being used)
* Catalyst Control Center: Display may be mapped to wrong desktop/screen after X restarts under specific configurations
* Catalyst Control Center: The refresh rate might not be preserved after restarting X
* Catalyst Control Center: The "Identify" icon might not rotate when screen is rotated with RandR 1.2
* Some virtual sizes set in xorg.conf may cause segmentation fault when starting X for specific 64MB ASICs
* [Ubuntu 9.04] Executing any "phoronix-test-suite" command may cause the screen to temporarily go blank before returning to normal
* “aticonfig -xinerama=on" may result in different dimensions and DPI settings between Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04
* [Ubuntu 9.04] Screen refresh may take up to 3 seconds when changing screen resolution using xrandr command
* Hotplugging the second display may cause X to fail with the keyboard and mouse becoming inoperable
* Removing the secondary display during suspend/hibernation may cause the login screen to appear on the disconnected ghost monitor instead of the primary monitor when system resumes
* Some CAL SDK samples throw an error message when executing on the second ASIC when the primary and secondary ASICs belong to different ASIC families
* CrossFireX settings in Catalyst Control Center may appear as disabled even though CrossFire is actually enabled with specific ASICs
* [Ubuntu 9.04] Under specific system configurations, resume from S3 and S4 in extended desktop mode may result in the desktop appearing with no menu or icons
* "Force maximum perf clocks" status in Catalyst Control Center might not persist if change is made to one adapter only for specific ASICs
* CRT might not be enabled when connected with S-Video/CV in X windows mode
* With CrossFire enabled, Catalyst Control Center may throw segmentation fault while selecting the secondary display
