"Earlier this week AMD released the Catalyst 10.6 driver that
on the Linux side of the table had finally made use by default of their
new 2D acceleration architecture, offered official support for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.5, and formalized their OpenGL 3.3/4.0 support. Since
the release of the Catalyst 10.6 Linux driver, we have been running a
new set of tests on their new ATI 2D acceleration architecture, but the
results are not what you may expect when compared to the open-source ATI
Linux driver."

Not mentioned in the new features section, but no doubt still important, is the fact that the new Catalyst 9.11 drivers now offer support for the HD 5700 series which was something that wasn't included in the 9.10s. In saying that, there was a 5700 series beta of the 9.10s which did offer support, for which reason we've used that driver for the HD 5770 which is now included.
While we don't doubt that some people are going to have issues with the fact that the HD 4000 series cards are no longer included and that Vista is gone, I learnt a long time ago that you can't please everyone. We're sure that ATI will now shift their focus to supporting the new HD 5000 series models and for that reason it's what we want to concentrate on."
