"Once again, it is the time of the month when new ATI display
drivers are presented and it's now the task of Phoronix to evaluate this
latest package. Over the past several months, we have seen a horde of
improvements reach the proprietary drivers from the Radeon X1000 support
earlier this year to X.Org 7.1 support. Other recent changes include a
combined i386/x86_64 installer, new distribution packaging support, Radeon
X1000 TV-out support, ATI Events Daemon, dynamic displays, and many
aticonfig changes. Today with the release of the 8.29.6 fglrx drivers
there have not been many changes that affect the end-user, but still there
are some items worth mentioning. After several drivers of heated changes,
it looks as if we have now reached a slowdown in their development cycle
as ATI prepares for the next arsenal of features and fixes. Hitting this
month's 8.29.6 driver is Linux 2.6.18 support, removal of R200 product
support, and a few resolved issues."
