Title: AMD Catalyst 8.5 For Linux ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "All of the Catalyst Linux driver releases this year have

been... well, boring. There have been a few bug fixes in each release

and new product support for the latest ATI/AMD GPUs, but no major

features have been introduced in several months. However, during this

time we've been telling you to get ready for an interesting summer and

that "we have reason to believe AMD does have some Linux work under

development that could make 2007 look boring compared to this year." It

was in 2007 that AMD had introduced their brand-new driver with AIGLX

support. Well, with the release today of Catalyst 8.5 the monthly Linux

driver releases are becoming more interesting and we should have several

exciting months ahead. What does today's Linux driver bring to the

table? We'll give you the run-down in this article, but to get you

started there is now Catalyst AI, Linux 2.6.25 support, and much

improved 2D performance!"
