"Ubuntu 9.04 will be released towards the end of next month and
it is picking up the Linux 2.6.28 kernel, GNOME 2.26, and other
improvements like install-time support for the EXT4 file-system and some
subtle improvements. When it comes to the X.Org side it is shipping with
X Server 1.6 and the stabilized version of Mesa 7.3. Specifically in
regards to the ATI Linux graphics, it will be shipping with an updated
xf86-video-ati driver
by default and Catalyst 9.4 will be an option for the user. With Ubuntu
9.04 Alpha 6 having been released last week, we have run a few
benchmarks comparing the open-source ATI performance in Ubuntu 8.10 and
Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6."
