Submission + - ATI Catalyst 8.1 released (akamai.net)
r_jensen11 writes: AMD have released their Catalyst 8.1 drivers for Linux yesterday, which now supports REHL 4.6 and 5.1, as well as Gusty. AMD notes four resolved issues:
Corruption will no longer be noticed in the lower right corner of the display or on the mouse pointer after the system is running for a long period of time
Custom mode lines in xorg.conf will no longer be ignored by the fglrx driver
Suspending to RAM or DISK on kernel version 2.6.23 or later no longer fails
Connecting a display device that supports 1680x1050 to a system running Linux will no longer result in a maximum display resolution of 1280x1024 only being available
The only major catch?On workstation hardware 3D applications will be corrupted if the screen width is not an integer multiple of 64 pixels, for example with a 1680x1050 wide screen display.
