Title: Canonical Publishes ATI Catalyst 8.11 Beta ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "X Server 1.5 was officially released last month with X.Org

7.4, but there had been server pre-releases going back to earlier this

year. Fedora 9 had even shipped with an early version version of X

Server 1.5. For those using the open-source X.Org drivers, running the

latest server is not a big deal, but those with ATI or NVIDIA binary

drivers they sometimes can be slow in supporting the latest version.

NVIDIA has supported X Server 1.5 for a number of weeks now, but ATI has

yet to update their Catalyst Linux driver with such support. With Ubuntu

8.10 being released in two weeks and it's using this newest X Server,

how will ATI graphics cards be supported? Well, an interesting event has

occurred and we will tell you what has happened in this article."
