Community Initiatives The Linux ATI community has needed a universal area to document information regarding the proprietary ATI Linux driver. This wiki hopes to accomplish this requirement. Do you run a distribution that no one else does? Add a page and create links where they are necessary. Besides this wiki there are two other places users can find further help and information. The first is an unofficial bug report database where users can post and track progress on driver bugs. The second is community-based user support which can be found at either the Rage3D.com Linux Drivers or DriverHeaven.net Linux Radeon Display Drivers forums. There are of course many, many different other community resources with particular value for various vertical parts of the community. There is also the Distribution specific pages as well.
