Title: Open-Source ATI Graphics In Ubuntu 9.04 ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "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."
