	This "bug" in 8.39.4 drivers results from the fact that ATI developers don't update the packager maintainers before the official releases.

	~~The installer can be downloaded from the [http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html official web site] directly.~~
	~~{{Warning\|Warning\|If the downloaded driver version is less than 8.37.6, then~~ you ~~need to know from now that it will not work onto X.Org 7.2 server (or 1~~.~~3) or later.}}~~
	{{Helpful Hint\|Note\|Drivers for x86 and x86_64 architectures are equivalent. The installer contains files for both architectures, then It will be the compilation process and the package creation process to choose the appropriate files.
	~~This means that the SlackBuild will be good for Slackware, Slackware64 and for Slackware 64-bit portings (Slamd64, Bluewhite64, etc. ...).}}~~

	~~Since drivers also contain a kernel module which will be compiled directly on your system, you'll need the kernel source in use~~.

	~~= Proprietary ATI Drivers and ATI Catalyst =~~		TGnBU6 I loved your article. Keep writing.
	~~Since 21 November 2007, ATI drivers have changed the name and the number version~~. ~~The new drivers, which were first mentioned only as Proprietary ATI Driver, are now called ATI Catalyst. Moreover, the version number has passed from 8.XX.X to 7.XX.~~

	When in this wiki we will talk about drivers version <8.37.6, we will refer implicitly to the old driver, such as Proprietary ATI Driver, while the new ATI Catalyst have a number version >= 8.37.6, even if, for instance, have a release number 7.11.

	~~This wiki explains how to install the proprietary ATI drivers in a Slackware Linux distribution, creating, thanks to a SlackBuild, packages that can be installed through the '''installpkg''' command~~.

	~~This wiki DOES NOT explain how to improve performance~~. In particular, It provides only a minimal description of how to set up the X.Org server with the only purpose of loading the proprietary drivers (a description on how to configure the X.Org server to increase performance can be found, in italian, [http://www.slacky.eu/wikislack/index.php?title=Installazione_driver_ATI_su_Slackware_GNU/Linux here]).

	~~All commands starting with a '#>' must be executed with root rights, while commands beginning with '$>' can be performed by a user without such rights~~.

 Obviously the kernel must be predisposed for the "mounting" of this filesystem, in particular the kernel option that must be enabled is '''CONFIG_TMPFS''' that is generally placed in '''File system --> Pseudo filesystems''' submenu. However all the compiled kernel generally have this option enabled.
-Awesome awmseoe awmseoe!!!Need to do some benchmarking and profiling against FreeBSD at some point soon. I really wonder where we stand these days with all the work in the SMP department and interrupts also?Kind Regards,
