| 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).
| |
