"Last month was an interesting time for AMD and their ATI Linux
display driver. The Radeon HD 2400 and 2600 series were introduced, but
as we have unfortunately come to expect, there was not a supported R600
driver that day or even that month. In fact, there still is no Linux
driver to support any graphics card in the R600 series. Though making
the month unique were two display drivers being released in the same
week. The 8.38.6 driver had introduced Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
support as well as some minor fixes, but nothing to spark interest in
the minds of end-users. The second Linux driver released, 8.38.7, had
come down the pipeline as a hot-fix release to correct a bug where
aticonfig would crash and remove your xorg.conf. Moving forward to the
8.39.4 driver released today, we still have no AIGLX or R600 support,
but we do have Fedora 7 support!"
